“In 1941, at the age of seventeen, Sheila Allan’s life was plunged into a nightmare.  For the next three and a half years she was a prisoner of the Japanese in Changi Prison and Sime Road Camp.  This book is the moving personal account of a young girl living in the midst of hardship and adversity.  Written on scraps of paper which were kept hidden in her quarters, Sheila Allan’s diary is a record of the daily lives of those interned in Changi.”
