This gripping novel brings to life a story of Japanese internment of American army nurses and allied civilians in Manila during WWII. Overcoming adversity and death defying odds - this engaging tale keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, building on true accounts of secret agents, a maniacal Japanese doctor, and the brutal commandant. This timeless novel gives the reader an intimate view of the relationships, determination, and survival of the nurses and other internees during their battle to stay alive and triumph over evil - Within The Walls of Santo Tomas.

Travel back to 1942, when twenty-eight-year-old Molly Martin's life was changed forever. She and other army nurses and soldiers are taken from Corregidor to Manila, where they are imprisoned by the Japanese within the walls of Santo Tomas University with innocent US and Allied civilians. Molly leads the nurses in establishing a hospital in the former gymnasium, and they attempt to make the best of things.

Three long years passed and the American forces drew closer. On February 3, 1945 a flight of five American planes flew low over Santo Tomas. An object fell from one of them - pilot's goggles. A hastily scrawled note stuffed inside read Roll out the barrel, Christmas comes today or tomorrow – the announcement of the coming liberation of the internees.
