A Song for Lisa Clifton La Bree 1st edition

A story of a young American woman captured by the Japanese in the Philippines, 1941. Like most prisoners, she was brutalized and sadistically treated with a cruel disregard for human life. Three years later, Lisa and her companions had reached the low point of starvation and abuse so that they willed themselves to die or committed suicide. Living was not worth the effort. Then, from the dark, impenetrable jungle, American Rangers arrived to free them. Lisa had been raped by the camp commandant and was pregnant with his child. Her sacrifice and courage is a tribute to the human spirit. It is a warm and inspiring love story, enriched by music. From the depths of depravity and despair, her journey to fulfillment will long be remembered.
