My son had to read this for a school project, then everyone in the family read it on his recommendation. Very good telling of the halocaust that is appropriate for young readers. Not so horrible to be overwhelming, yet realistic.

FROM THE PUBLISHER
Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner."Oh, the poor woman," Corrie cried."Yes. May God forgive her," Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed.

Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along with joy and triumph!
