Darkness In Paradise: Memories Of Onno Vandemmeltraadt From His Youth In Indonesia During Wwii

In this memoir, Gloria has captured both the horrors and humor of her husband's early life in war-ravaged Indonesia. This recollection shares memories of fierce Japanese soldiers bursting into his family's home, and later having one of them teach him to fish. Visions, such as Onno's family running down the street with mattresses covering their heads as bullets fly by them, are stark. The stories tell the pains of war, but are filled with hope. Inspiring both tears and laughter throughout, Darkness in Paradise reveals layers of human compassion during the awful times of World War II.
