OLDER FICTION
Hertenstein, Jane

Beyond Paradise

(3) YA Louise is an American missionary girl imprisoned in a Japanese internment camp in the Philippines during World War II. Faced with hunger, the fear of torture or death, and the loss of her teenage years to the camps, she tries to keep her family together and prop up her mother's spirits. Without being overly dramatic, Hertenstein paints a compassionate picture of ordinary courage.
