Fifteen-year-old Lina is a Lithuanian girl living an ordinary life—until Soviet officers invade her home and tear her family apart. Separated from her father and forced onto a crowded train, Lina, her mother, and her young brother make their way to a Siberian work camp, where they are forced to fight for their lives. Lina finds solace in her art, documenting these events by drawing. Risking everything, she embeds clues in her drawings of their location and secretly passes them along, hoping they will make their way to her father's prison camp. But will strength, love, and hope be enough for Lina and her family to survive?

Awareness

Learning about an historical ordeal with which I was unfamiliar. So much sorrow , and so much heroism.

Powerful telling of history

This book is beautifully written. It has impacted me deeply. Great read for teenagers and older.

this needs to be taught in schools

I'm a 26 year old I was taught about Hitler about the horrific things he did but I never in my life thought that there was more...

A People of Courage

Such a heartbreaking story, but so true and a must read for everyone, so we do not forget, and that some may learn for the first time

Great subject

I was excited about this book. Super interesting subject but the narration was really lacking. I still loved the story.
