I know about the Death March and the war but not in-depth details like American nurses surviving prison camp under the prickling Philippine heat. Books about war tend to be hard to read, but I'll take your word for it. I look forward to this book. Thank you, Alex!

After my mom died, I realized there was so much I should asked about and didn't. Same with my dad.
