China, 1941. Elspeth Kent has fled an unhappy life in England for a
teaching post at a missionary school in northern China. But when Japan
declares war on the Allies and occupies the school, security and home
comforts are replaced by privation, uncertainty and fear.
For
ten-year-old Nancy Plummer and her school friends, now separated from
their parents indefinitely, Miss Kent’s new Girl Guide patrol provides a
precious reminder of home in a land where they are now the enemy.
Elspeth and her fellow teachers, and Nancy and her friends, need courage, friendship and fortitude as they pray for liberation. But worse is to come. Removed from the school, they face even greater uncertainty and danger at a Japanese internment camp, where cruelty and punishment reign.
