@Connie Why disturbing?

1
Connie

@Jo What they went through at the camp was disturbing to me. Knowing this happened was disturbing to me.

Sheila

@Jo It would be a spoiler to say why, but I am always disturbed when I read about the evil and prejudice that happened during WWII. The book is well worth the read and very educational.

It was one of those books that I was glad I read it….hated what I learned from it. So i had mixed emotions about it myself….but it is a great book about that unfortunate historical time.

It is absolutely one of my favorite books. The prequel to it: Lost Roses, is equally as captivating. Martha Hall Kelly is writing another prequel.(Gin Lane)
