The first part of the book is about Mary Beth's life in Manila until she left in June 1941 to attend college in Berkeley, California. Her family spent the war years interned in STIC. An interesting chapter on the liberation of Santo Tomas. Her father died during the war, and her sister was killed after the liberation." - Roderick Hall
