About the book:
Remember the Lilies (Thomas Nelson, February 2015)
Can Irene and Rand stave off starvation until the American troops bring freedom?
Interred by the Japanese, missionary Irene Reynolds comes across a mysterious note while working at the censor’s office. She memorizes the parts she must black out and delivers it to wealthy nightclub owner Rand Sterling. Before she knows what’s happening, she’s drawn into a web of secrets and danger.
Rand Sterling wants nothing more than to reopen his nightclubs once the war ends. But slimy Frank Covey wants his hand in the till—and has news that could threaten Rand’s reputation if it became public. More importantly, beautiful and intriguing Irene Reynolds cannot discover this information if he expects to persuade her to become his wife.
When Irene is attacked by a sinister Japanese guard and their secrets are exposed, they must learn the true meaning of forgiveness—if they can stave off starvation until the American troops bring freedom.

My Review:
I really liked Remember the Lilies. I have been reading a number of books about World War II and have been learning a lot. This one was a bit different because it took place in a internment camp. I would have liked to know more about the camp. It was a story of American businessman in Manila, and Irene Reynolds, who was raised among missionaries in the Phillipine jungle. They are both prisoners and their paths cross often. What becomes of their friendship? You will need to read Remember the Lilies to find out.
