Sold for Silver

About this book

Sold for Silver, first published in 1958, is the autobiographical account of Singaporean Chinese Janet Lim. The book covers her early childhood in China to the end of World War II. Janet Lim, an 'ordinary' person, lived in a time and had experiences that were anything but ordinary however: sold into domestic slavery as a child, living in Singapore when it was captured by the Japanese in 1942, aboard a ship that was bombed and sunk and then adrift in the ocean for a number of days, captured and held prisoner by the Japanese, selected to be a "comfort girl, " and sentenced to be executed. Ms. Lim survived each challenge with her strong will, her faith, and with the help of close friends. Her book is a timeless true story of inspiration.
