In the 1960s and 70s, President Ferdinand Marcos ruled the Philippine Islands with the closed fist of a dictator. Families lived in fear. Dissenters, political rivals and alleged troubled makers were tossed into Manila's Fort Bonifacio Prison for an
uncertain fate of confinement, punishment and even execution. This is the memoir of a daughter who was too young to understand what it would mean when Marcos' henchmen knocked on the door of their home and swept
away the Father who bound her family together. A daughter whose life, and that of her mother and six siblings, was forever altered by events that now reside in history.
