Stranger In My Heart (Unbound, 2018) gives the eye witness account of the author's father, Major John Monro MC RA, who fought at the Battle of Hong Kong, was interned by the Japanese at Sham Shui Po and escaped 1200 miles across China to reach Chongqing. He made his escape with Captain IB Trevor and Flying Officer Norman Baugh. In Chongqing he was made Assistant Military Attaché and spent the next 18 months supporting and trying to liberate the POWs he'd left behind. Mary retraced her father's escape route across China and the book also includes her journey of discovery. The book has a foreword written by HRH The Princess Royal.
