RISING FROM THE SHADOW OF THE SUN, A STORY OF LOVE, SURVIVAL AND JOY
by Ronny Herman de Jong
Ronny Herman de Jong has released her second book! RISING FROM THE SHADOW OF THE SUN, A STORY OF LOVE, SURVIVAL AND JOY brings the horror and losses of World War II on Java off the battlefields and military POW camps and into the world of Ronny Herman, who is barely three years old in 1942 when the Japanese conquer Java and force her family into prison camps where they would suffer until 1945. Ronny’s father Fukko, a pilot with the Dutch Naval Air Force, escapes with his squardron hours before the Japanese submarienes encircle the island. Working under British command in Sri Lanka, Fokko’s story is chronicled along the same timeline as that of his wife and children; an interesting link.
RISING FROM THE SHADOW OF THE SUN, A STORY OF LOVE, SURVIVAL AND JOY details her journey from childhood deprivation in WWII Japanese concentration camps to peace and prosperity in the 21st century in the USA. Her historical memoir is available from Booklocker.com, Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble.com.
