Samenvatting	Shortly after the war in the Pacific broke out in December of 1941, the author and her husband crammed enough clothes, foodstuffs, and supplies to last them six months into three suitcases, and headed into the choking bamboo jungles of Luzon. Unfortunately, the war was to last another four years. For a year and a half, they lived from day to day, hiding among the little-known mountain people who sheltered and helped them in their grim struggle for existence. Always just a step ahead of the Japanese army, they were forced to move constantly, a week here, a month there. The refugees faced monsoon rains and the fear of malaria; they lived on dwindling stores of food; traded even their most precious possessions with Filipino villagers who wouldn't betray their hideout-and a few who were not so trustworthy-and assisted the bands of young guerrillas whenever possible.
