  <default_description>Herman lives in a labor camp. It is World War II, and the Nazis have made him a prisoner. He is forced to work long hours. His only food is soup made of water. Soon he loses the will to go on. Then she appears. A young girl on the other side of the barbed-wire fence--an angel girl, bearing food and hope in the most hopeless of times. She seems like a miracle. For Herman, the miracles have just begun...  Angel Girl is a story of love, hope, and the strength of the human spirit.

Angel Girl is a work of imagination set against a backdrop of the Holocaust.  At the time of publication, it was was believed to be based on a true story.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[We read a book called Rose Blanche by Christophe Gallaz that was very similar to &quot;Angel Girl.&quot;  That one with a sad ending that really let us feel the terrible impact of WWII on the Jews.  This story had a happy ending.  Read it and see why!]]></body>
