Sisters in Captivity

"Sisters in Captivity" recounts the harrowing experiences of Sister Betty Jeffrey OAM and her fellow Australian war nurses after surviving the bombing of the evacuation ship SS Vyner Brooke in February 1942, followed by three years as prisoners in Japanese camps in Sumatra. Drawing from Jeffrey's secret diary, this audiobook not only revisits their struggles and the profound sisterhood formed among the women but also explores Jeffrey's early life and her enduring commitment to nursing. With 32 pages of photos and personal mementos, this powerful narrative highlights the resilience of women in the face of war's brutality.
