"A tropical paradise that turned into a living hell.
"When the Japanese invaded North Borneo in 1042, Harry Keith, a British civil servant, his wife Agnes and their two-year-old son George were among a handful of Europeans still living in the British Protectorate. Captured by the enemy and separated from her husband, Agnes, along with baby George, was thrust into Kuching, a prisoner of war camp, where they suffered 3 1/2 long years of unthinkable degradation. Almost overnight, a life that had consisted of carefree parties and diplomatic functions was transformed into a day-to-day hell of disease, starvation, brutality and torture - as Agnes realized that she alone had to save her helpless child from an almost certain death. THREE CAME HOME is a saga of strength and survival, of hatred and compassion. The shocking true story of one family's extraordinary courage while trapped in the malevolent jaws of war."
