What an uplifting book! This book is about a lady who lived through WWII in Indonesia. She eventually went to the Netherlands and then to America. It is a book about her and her family's faith through trials and her eventual conversion to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a wonderful inspiring book without being preachy. It made me want to better myself, which is never a bad thing. It is written in an easy to read style. I wish I had read it before I visited Amsterdam. I would have loved to see where she lived.

Just received from snubbysgal -- Thank you!

I'll journal again after I've read it and then it'll be on its way back to you! =)

I finally finished this book! Not sure why I couldn't get into it for so long, but once I got past the first 50 pages it flew by! This was a wonderful story. This family's faith is incredible and inspiring. It amazes me that anyone could survive such harsh circumstances as those in the concentration camps. I loved reading of all the miracles in their lives that kept them going - the rain when the mother was in the hole, the stranger bearing money on the street, the secret stash in her doll. God does take care of us. We only have to trust in Him. =)
