Ruff-O'Herne's account of her experiences in Japanese prison camps and subsequent sexual enslavement is a heart-wrenching read that gives a voice to the silent victims of forced prostitution during World War II. The memoir begins with an insight into Ruff-O'Herne's idyllic childhood in Dutch colonial Java (Indonesia). What follows is a tragic account of the brutality of war and a woman's journey toward healing and forgiveness.
