N2  - "Romance, gold-mining ventures, and idyllic lifestyles were torn asunder by the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1941. Gloria Haube, with her mother and brothers, first fled to the jungle, then returned to Manila, an "open city" where they were spared internment because they were not Americans. Near war's end they followed indigenous Igorots into remote mountains to seek refuge from American bombs, living on sweet potatoes until their harrowing escape from retreating Japanese troops. 

Gloria's German-born father managed a gold-mining camp of 15,000 under Japanese commanders, then under the bombardment of American planes that destroyed it all. Their perplexing parallel perspectives and vivid tales of triumph are woven together in this remarkable account of war in a Pacific paradise."
