At first I just could not get into this book. I kept listening and realized this is just what a dear friend on mine went through with his religious upbringing.
He is still sorting through what he was taught and what is the truth.

This book is filled with sadness, happiness and sincere compassion from people who had little to give. It is so heartwarming. I am so glad I chose it. I couldn't stop listening and couldn't wait to begin listening when I did have to stop. 5 stars all the way for sure!

It was hard to put this one down. 4 lives who need each other to overcome obstacles that no one else understands. I definately recommend this audio book. Beware foul language at the beginning and then it slowly changes into a beautiful story.

This was a great book. It is heart wrenching to hear about the atrocities of the Holocaust. We must never forget and the stories of what happened should continue to be told.
Great Author and narration. Highly recommend !

Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.
