They escape to an island (fictitious in name, but similar to Mindoro). There they struggle to survive, escaping Japanese patrols but aided by Filipinos. The author, an American missionary in Mindoro prior to the war, tries to show what happened in the Philippines after the missionaries left or were interned. The result is this book, advertised as “both an adventure story with spiritual undertones and an illuminating picture of a little-explored corner of World War II.†- Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
