I have to admit that at about page 50 I seriously considered putting the book down and sending it on to the next on the list. Since, though, this book is inspired heavily on real experiences I read on out of respect for the author. The tale of survival and hiding in Holland in WWII is amazing and I think often over looked in the retelling of that war.

The book could have been better with stronger editing. Keep reading past the slow and rather trite begining. ( )

Based on a true story, this historical fiction tells of two young sisters who get separated from their parents and are forced to live hidden away in the attics of Holland in order to escape from being caught by the Nazis. ( )
