Sold for a silver - Janet Lim an Autobiography

Tweet

Another biography reading, Sold for Silver, is the true story of a China-born Janet Lim who lived in hardship and poverty, then was sold at tender age by her parents for slavery in 1930s. The few early chapters described the days when she was in China, lives in poverty but happily with her parents and a brother. She was only eight, when was sold and shipped to Singapore, then bought to serve a rich merchant family- as a maid and having to nightly escape (and hide) from the sexual abuse master. Years later, she joined a missionary school, then was serving a missionary hospital as a nurse when Japanese arrived and attacked Singapore 1942. She joined to escape on a missionary ship, butwas bombed and sink, but she floated and rescued alive. She was captured by the Japanese armies, become the pool of  comfort-woman (sexual-imprisonment), but again escape and survived. An inspirational autobiography of a true heroine and a survival. Unfortunately, the few last pages was missing and I cant give a good guess, what was the end. (I told the librarian to pull off this book off the shelf when I return it)
