Great book from the child’s eyes

How she found God and His constant faithfulness through the horrors of war were evident all through the book.

Excellent for teaching elementary students

Teaching young children about the horrors of WWII can be difficult. This true story of a Christian girl and her family is truthful and revealing while remaining gentle and uplifting as it describes the difficulties of the war.

Sad but inspiring story of God's love

inspiring story of how God protects His people and a faith that never wavered, even in the midst of hardships

She kept the faith the whole duration of the war

Story is told very simple so teens could learn from it. The terrible things the nazis did were left out She suffered plenty but trusted in God in the darkest of times so that’s the main theme of book not the Nazi war machine. She experienced far more than told very kind unselfish girl who never sought revenge which is human nature. Highly recommend for teen and old audience

Stunning story about God's protection

Enjoyed the story a lot. The narration was hard to follow ar first, but overall story was captivating.
