Samenvatting	When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and simultaneously attacked the Philippines, eight-year-old Mary McKay, her parents, and several other American families working on Mindanao fled into the jungle for what they thought would be a short evacuation until they could be rescued by the U. S. Navy. Their wait lasted two years. Maynard's beautifully written, courageous memoir tells the fascinating story of how they survived. The refugees encountered typhoons, fires and cobras; they lived on dwindling stores of canned food. Mary begins to perceive the social politics and prejudices that exist on the island, and she survives a sexual assault. Like The Diary of Anne Frank or Empire of the Sun, My Faraway Home gives a fresh perspective on war through a child's eyes.
