Corridors of Pain is an intense and moving story of fear and courage, and a girl's coming of age in the middle of a swamp, in the middle of a war she can hardly understand. This is powerful material. The language is wonderfully evocative. The details bring the place and this child's life right before our eyes." -Meg Files, Meridian 144 "Cecilia Andersen paints a vivid word picture of a young girl, driven into the jungle for her own safety during WWII in the Philippines. The story packs an emotional wallop that combines with a compelling plot in a true-to-life historical setting. The reader will tremble with the heroine's terror and will delight at her discoveries in this extraordinary autobiographical novel. This is reality writing, and readers will love it!" -- Dr. Kathleen E. Assar, Vice President (Retired) Pima Community College, Tucson, Arizona "This is a powerful tale told from the point of view of a survivor of many horrific, terrible things. It happens at a place and time that I, and most twenty-something Americans, are unfamiliar with but that I find incredibly engaging." -- Patrick, PCC.
