Based upon the accounts of Agnes Keith, this story tells the tale of her and her families' capture by the Japanese in Borneo during World War II and their internment in various prisoner-of-war camps for the entire war. Separated from her husband and forced to care for her son, she and her fellow women prisoners endure forced labor, torture and humiliation at the hands of their Japanese captors. Hoping to be reunited with her husband, Keith prays for day when the family can be reunited.
