Query: One of my favorites in my collection.

At the beginning of WWII Louise and her husband were on Masbate Is., phillipines. Spence (her husband) was an engineer who built and now ramrodded the IXL goldmine. They got word of the Jap attack on Pearl Harbor via radio. The few Americans and Filipinos started making preparations for the upcoming invasion. I believe they endured about 2 yrs. before they were evacuated by a sub to Australia. They island hopped a little bit before settling down to a life well inland. One of Louise's friends had a baby while they were on the run. Some of their missionary friends surrendered to the Japs, who then slaughtered them. They had many close encounters with the enemy, but always able to stay alittle ahead of them. Well written and makes excellent reading. I've read it once every winter for the last several years and never get tired of it.
