The Road Back

I know the author personally. We attend the same church in San Antonio, Texas. I have read her book and found it to be very interesting. It presents some of the events of WWII from the perspective of an Army Nurse who was taken prisoner by the Japanese while she was serving in the Philippines. The book also contains some biographical information and family background. She's a wonderful lady who is, as of this review, about 90 years old. When the book arrives, I intend to ask her and her husband to autograph it for me. I borrowed the book from the public library and decided I would like to have a copy of my own.
