In the Shadow of the Rising Sun

In this memoir, Olga Morris (Henderson) recounts her experiences as a nine-year-old in Singapore during its fall to Japanese forces in 1942, leading to three years of captivity in Changi Prison. The story details her childhood amidst wartime hardship, including escapes for food, the cruelty faced by her brother, and moments of resilience and camaraderie. As she reflects on her time as a child prisoner of war, Olga offers a poignant perspective on loss, suffering, and the enduring spirit of hope.
