The Joy of Life: The Land Below the Wind

By Bryan Paul Lai

I wrote this book in dedication to my
mother Gabriela Remedia Lobos,
who had been steadfast in her principle of dedication to her husband and her
children. Particularly in those turbulent years during the Second World War, from
1941 to 1945, when her husband was detained by the Japanese because of his
involvement in the underground in the State of North Borneo in 1943, she was
confronted with an uphill task of defending her faithfulness to the man that she
had married.
