Summary
In 1948, Lela Rosma was a seventeen-year-old student deep in the interior of West Sumatra when the Dutch invaded her local community for the first time since the Japanese surrender. She fled the town of Payakumbuh, where she had been studying, and traveled back toward her home village with hundreds of others in horse-drawn carts.
