A novel that tells the gripping story of being held captive by the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in the Phillipines. Gracia & Martin Burnahm were the missionaries kidnapped. Their story told in detail, is at times quite graphic. The reader will be enlightened of pain, hunger, the challenge of being chained to a tree, lack of food & water, & other challenges the Burnhams's faced. The book tells of the nightmare they endured; the death of one spouse, the release of the other. One returns to the states alone to live again, and begins life as one. Read the book for a look into the missionaries kidnap.
