'There's action and passion galore in Joy Chambers' For Freedom' - Australian Women's Weekly

December 1941.

The whole of South East Asia appears to be capitulating before the rising sun and four remarkable people are about to reassess their lives:

Lexi Robinson: the doctor with a secret from the past who escapes before Hong Kong is invaded, only to find herself still within the enemy net.

John Drayton Whitby: Australian army officer who focuses on the long, harrowing fight for freedom even whilst his mind clouds with suspicions about his wife.

Hank 'Trap' Trapperton: the West Point-trained American 'spy' who is John Drayton's trusted friend and yet not really his friend at all.

And Kathleen Leigh: the woman brought up to believe a lie until the day comes when she must confront the appalling truth.

What people are saying about For Freedom:

'A wonderful author and a wonderful book'

'Joy Chambers is up there with the very best authors and meticulously researches her book subjects'
