Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1958, this is the true story of China-born Janet Lim, who was sold into slavery as a young girl in 1930’s Singapore. When Singapore falls to the Japanese in 1942, she escapes by ship, but when it is bombed and sinks, Janet floats at sea for days close to death. Rescued by fishermen, then captured by the Japanese, she narrowly escapes sexual-imprisonment as a comfort woman and is tortured. An inspirational autobiography of a true heroine.
