A review of THE UNSURRENDERED by THE INDIE TRIBE U.K.

THE UNSURRENDERED by Joyce Shaughnessy

This is the last book in the trilogy, Pearl of the Orient.

Joyce Shaughnessy’s story focuses on the Japanese invasion of the Phillipine Islands during the Second World War and reflects the amazing amount of accurate research that Joyce must have committed to. And yet committed is the wrong word to use as she very much regards it as a labour of love.

The research proved to be time well spent as this is an amazing piece of military history, where events are real and the characters are brought to life. Both the pain and the love are tangible as the main characters Carla,a Filipino and Jacob , an American weave there way through this remarkable story.

After the surrender to the Japanese they join forces with other Filipino-American guerrillas to wage a continued war against the occupying Japanese.

The author successfully blends a fictional love story into the quite horrific realities of this period of World War 2. Fact and fiction merge beautifully and make this a must read for followers of military history and romance.

Readers are treated to a whole spectrum of emotions and there will be times when you need a handkerchief to wipe your tears and times when you need it to hide behind.

IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD by Maria McCutchen - AN AMAZING BOOK!

This book is among the best written that I have ever had the privilege to read!  I highly recommend it to anyone. It's a courageous journal of the painful and private world of the author's fight to receive medical attention for her brain disease.  I literally found it extremely difficult to put aside and read it in just two settings.

STOLEN IDENTITY by Peter Cacciolfi & Pattimari Sheets Cacciolfi

Stolen Identity by Peter and Pattimari Cacciolfi is the next featured book Interview of the Authors.  They are husband and wife team, creators of PNP Authors, a group of which I am now a member.  The group features authors who have at least one published book and/or poems.  It's great being in a group of authors because we can exchange ideas and hopefully grow as writers.  Part of our group has even recently finished a YA Time Travel Novel, Some Where, Some Time, Some Place.  Another group of us is now in the process of creating a Crime/Mystery Novel.
