Summary
This is the true story of Dorothy Still Danner, a Navy nurse who became a prisoner of war during World War II in the Philippines. After the Japanese invasion, Danner and other Navy nurses were captured and held in internment camps under brutal conditions. The book chronicles her harrowing three-year imprisonment, documenting the courage, resilience, and resourcefulness required to survive. Through Danner's experiences, readers witness the often-overlooked contributions of military nurses during wartime and gain insight into a lesser-known chapter of World War II history in the Pacific theater.
