Publisher's Synopsis
It's the summer of '42. The world is at war and Japan's Imperial Army is moving across the island of New Guinea.
After their mission is attacked, Justine Whitcomb is left with seven children to lead to safety through enemy lines. She leads them to a cave and goes back for her husband Mark, but is taken captive. Upon her escape with the help of her friend Virginia, she knows she must return to the children, even without Mark.
When Lieutenant Tyler Merrick finds her, Justine hopes he will help, but he's drunk and doesn't believe her story. He thinks Justine is the rogue spy he been sent to find.
She needs to win his trust, because if they can't stop fighting one another, they will never get off the island alive.
