Summary:

As World War II drew closer to the Philippines, Florence Finch transformed from a mild-mannered wife into a fervent resistance fighter. She conceived a bold plan to divert tons of precious fuel from the Japanese army, which was sold on the black market to provide desperately needed medicine and food for hundreds of American POWs. In constant peril of arrest and execution, she fought to save others.
