After Gen Ferris's missionary father commits suicide in 1950, it is up to her to get out of Burma alone. She has one hundred dollars in her knapsack, a slingshot, a magical Burmese puppet, and the New York City address of an aunt she doesn't know. But Gen is captured by Red Chinese forces and imprisoned with six other lost travelers. She vows to escape, not believing that her destiny lies in captivity, never dreaming of the forces that will finally come to her aid.

It's time for me to go. Gen, if you can get to Rangoon, there'll be help for you. Go to New York-I couldn't- and God bless you......

Pretty good "will do they get rescued?" plot with an extra twist tossed in...
