I finally read it! I read it the last two days before my book club. I really enjoyed it. It has such an inspiring message of faith and hope. And a million different quotes I want to write down and keep. A great TRUE story! This is a book to own and mark up with notes, highlights, and more.

Such an incredible book! This family was simply incredible. The help they gave in spite of the consequences and then to see how they handled all they went through--truly inspiring.

I loved this book! It is such a good true story. I like to read about the survival stories during WWII and this one is so good and for the most part a clean read too.
