MY REVIEW

I just finished this heart-wrenching, poignant read. The history I have learned through this book is much. Reading about such horrid times during these times in which we live is eery.

The writing here takes one inside those that endured so much and fought so hard. The readers senses are all engaged as the words are so well written. It writes of the human struggle-the good and the bad. For me, this book started a bit slow. I highly encourage everyone to finish if you can. This is not an easy read, but history is not always easy. I would have liked more of a faith theme through this book, but I do understand the difficulties in that in a historical book such as this.

Do not miss reading the author’s notes at the end either. This is a powerful story of the human spirit and the bonds of love and family.

As an epilogue, this book also makes one consider what the reader might do in similar circumstances. I was confronted with this as I read what these sisters decided to do as a result of the atrocities being committed. They took different paths. It really made me think, how far does one go when evil occurs?

I received this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
