With the Japanese army close on her heels Jenny McLeod flees north through a defeated Burma. Can she survive the horrors on

THE ROAD OF DEATH.

1941. Jenny McLeod is bored after her adventures with the 7th Armoured Brigade in the deserts of North Africa; then she meets Randolph Churchill. The son of the British Prime Minister recognises Jenny’s gift with words and co-opts her to write for the fledgling troop newspaper, Desert News. Writing about the war in Egypt is the easy part for Jenny as she struggles for acceptance in a man’s world. When the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor and America finally enters the war, Jenny wonders if this new theatre will give her the chance to progress her career and show that she is as good as any man. Randolph agrees, and is instrumental in finding Jenny a post in the Far East.

So begins the most harrowing experience of Jenny’s life. Against all expectations the Japanese are winning in Asia. Separated from the British troops Jenny joins the civilian retreat through Burma. Thousands of miles on foot with the Japanese gaining ground daily; it’s a race for survival. Can Jenny lead a young family safely through impenetrable jungle and across raging rivers, or will hunger and disease leave them amongst the dead and dying on the trail? And where, during the unimaginable pain and heartache of the journey, is Bill? The man she loves, who she last saw in Rangoon, and who is now lost somewhere in the depths of the jungle as the Allied forces retreat.

Will any of them survive The Road of Death?
