Be prepared to cry your eyes out 😢
Some really sad moments, but all balanced by faith and love and support.
I‘m not religious, but could feel the strength of faith and support of religious communities that helped people get through the toughest times.
I know I would be the horrible bitter, old cow that could never react as these wonderful people did, I am in awe of them.
Thanks Cindy 😘

I recently read and reviewed this memoir, which I absolutely loved. So I was truly touched to find a lovely note from the author on my GoodReads page. (See above)
A story of one family‘s heroic act of bravery, an unforeseen tragedy and a quest to reunite the descendants. Pick up this book but make sure to have plenty of tissues on hand 😭

squirrelbrain How nice that she took the time to thank you! (and not a generic message either - she clearly read and cared about your review) ❤️ 5y

Reggie That‘s awesome! 5y

Cathythoughts That is so lovely ❤️ 5y

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
1. These daisies were given to me by the fruit vendor...occasionally he hands me a small bouquet 💛🤍💛
2. My first thought was Princess Buttercup/ The Princess Bride
3. Tagged book just unexpectedly captured my heart ♥️

Feel like sharing @TrishB @Centique @Cathythoughts @squirrelbrain @RachelO

Wow! I wasn‘t expecting to be so emotionally moved from this book. I cried so HARD, SO MANY TIMES (I have a migraine to prove it). A story woven around many stories, all true & each one compelling & astonishing. An entire Greek Island risking their lives to hide the Jewish tailor and his daughters during the Holocaust, a deeply religious Catholic family in Kansas, a survivor of the Rwanda genocide & an Israeli web developer all converge 👇🏽

Cinfhen in this heartfelt journey of piecing together a family puzzle. I‘ve seen reviews that thought it was too much, or unstructured. I never had trouble following the threads and I thought the book was constructed seamlessly. Once I started reading I could not stop. Grab a box of tissues and this book. It will remind you that there is always light in a world of darkness. 5y

Up next!! I had meant to read this for #ReadingEurope2020 #Greece but ultimately read a different book. Bonus, this book also works for #Kansas #ReadingUSA2020 - I‘ve read the first 4 chapters and I‘m hooked.

Cathythoughts I love this title and cover ... ✨✨✨ 5y
