From Lavonne

Your book was both devastating and poignant. I was not aware of the plight of the Germans during and after the war. It gave me a completely different lens from which to view the happenings of that terrible experience. I have since shared the book with a friend of mine who belongs to a book club. She read the book is just a few days and told me she was unable to sleep and read well into the dawn until she had finished it.

Poignant Story

This poignant story of tragedy and survival demonstrates that in war the innocent suffer also. An authentic and gripping reading.In today's world we must learn from the past that war is not the answer to resolving problems.

Evelyne's book announces the exciting debut of a new author.
