This book was a bit of a disappointment to me. I have no idea what I would do in this brave woman's shoes, but I was hoping to find out more of who these kidnappers were, how it is they exist in the Phillipines (they are a recent phenomena) and the history of both Islam and Christianity in the Phillipines.
The Phillipines was not always a Christian nation, it was made one by Christian Missionaries like Mrs. Burnham and her husband.
While I believe Mrs. Burnhams' heart is pure and I grieve with her for her husband, I think I may have looked to the wrong book to help me understand this phenomena of Islamic kidnappings in the Phillipines. It is a good read nonetheless, just not as enlightening as I hoped. Your experience with the book may differ.
