Summary: An old watchmaker in Holland. His two daughters, Corrie and Betsie. Simple, ordinary people. Yet these three unlikely heroes became the center of a major underground operation: To hide Jewish refugees from the occupying Germans. These kindly, law abiding people broke every rule in the book to save the lives of the men, women and children being hunted by the Nazis. Their home became a hiding place, but the cost of their bravery was betrayal and in the dreaded Ravensbruck concentration camp, they had to create another hiding place for those around them.

My Review: This book takes place during WWII. It is a true story about an incredible woman and her family. This book is full of faith, love, trust, and hope. I have never read a book about the Holocaust that was so inspiring. It is hard to read because it is a true story about people dying and being treated horribly... but it really is amazing how strong the main character and her sister are. Basically, this story is great. It will have you crying and cheering all the way through. I would highly suggest it! :)
