The four women at the heart of this story are:

• Helen Colijn, a Dutch missionary who was captured by the Japanese in the Dutch East Indies.
• Betty Echols, an American nurse who was captured by the Japanese in the Philippines.
• Nellie Evans, a British missionary who was captured by the Japanese in Malaya.
• Grace de Marguerye, a French woman who was captured by the Japanese in Vietnam.

These women were from different backgrounds and had different experiences, but they were united by their shared suffering. They were all prisoners of war, and they all faced the same challenges and dangers.

The women were held captive in a remote internment camp in the Philippines. The camp was overcrowded and unsanitary, and the prisoners were subjected to hard labor and torture.

Despite the horrific conditions, the women refused to give up hope. They supported each other, they cared for each other, and they prayed for each other.

The friendship between these four women was a lifeline for them during their time in the internment camp. They relied on each other for emotional support, physical help, and spiritual guidance.

Their friendship was a source of strength and hope for them all. It helped them to survive the unimaginable hardships they faced.

The women also found strength in their families. They wrote letters to their loved ones, they prayed for them, and they dreamed of the day they would be reunited.

Their families were a constant source of hope for them. They knew that their loved ones were waiting for them, and that gave them the strength to keep going.

Despite the horrors they endured, the women never gave up hope. They believed that they would eventually be liberated, and they clung to that hope with all their might.

Their hope was a beacon of light in the darkness. It gave them the strength to face each new day, and it helped them to survive the unimaginable.

In 1945, the women were finally liberated from the internment camp. They were overjoyed to be free, but they were also forever changed by their experiences.

They had witnessed the worst of humanity, but they had also seen the best of humanity. They had learned the power of friendship, family, and hope.

The resilient women left a lasting legacy of hope and inspiration. Their story is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can prevail.

Their story is a story of survival, a story of friendship, and a story of hope. It is a story that will inspire you to never give up, no matter how dark the times may seem.
