Summary of Forbidden Family: Wartime Memoir Of The Philippines, 1941-1945 (Wisconsin Studies in Autobiography)
Written just five years after the end of World War II, this is Margaret Samss moving testimony of life in a Japanese internment campthe can of Spam hoarded for Christmas dinner, the clandestine radio hidden in her sewing kit, the beheading of other prisoners for transgressions. With her husband held elsewhere as a prisoner of war and with a small son to protect, Margaret broke the rules both of society and of her captors to fall in love and bear a child with a kind and daring fellow internee, Jerry Sams. Her picture of prison life, with all its hardships, heartaches, and surprising humor, is unforgettably real.Ralph Graves, author of Share of HonorGeneral Books
