SYNOPSIS: This book follows the true story of Corrie Ten Boom, who was put in a concentration camp after her efforts to protect Jews living in WWII Holland. Somehow, she miraculously pulls through with her optimistic attitude in tact. Her story is one of hope and sacrifice.
AUNT SHARON'S TAKE: Although the subject matter in this book is depressing and negative, it is told with a shining optimism that changes the way we view the world. This book is a wonderful story of how a good attitude can change everything. It has a very strong Christian message, however, which may not appeal to some readers.
AUDIENCE: Adult and Young Adult
RATING: PG for mature subject matter and some adult references
