Freedom Disrupted is the story of a typical boy crazy teenager, Lillian Goynes, whose fathers connections at a U. S. Navy base in the Philippine Islands during the 1920s and 30s offered her a near-blissful life until the Japanese invasion transformed her world. One day after Pearl Harbor, her existence exploded into bloody destruction. After narrowly escaping death, she and her family witnessed enemy invasion as the Imperial Japanese Army marched into Manila. Then, Japanese soldiers ordered them to gather food and clothing for three days before herding them, along with 3000 other civilians, into a makeshift concentration camp, the University of Santo Toms. For over three years, these captives had to confront challenges of incarcerationloss of freedom, constant fear of death, deprivation and starvation. Using ingenuity, indomitable spirit and trust in God, many survived until the heroic United States First Calvary rescued them. Ironically, danger persisted, for once the Japanese had abandoned the camp, they bombarded it. Robbed of her coming of age years, Lillian made the most of her newly acquired freedom when she arrived in the vibrant, free-spirited city of San Francisco. After recuperating, she and her family traveled to Texas, where her dreams became reality.
