After waiting nearly nine years to receive this book, it finally arrived and it was definitely worth the wait. As the title says, it is the story of a child who lost the majority of her family close to the end of WWII, and how she coped. Only her older brother, still a child himself, was with her during the three years they were held as slave laborers by the invading people at the end of the war. It is written simply and clearly. A fact filled autobiography that does not dwell on self-pity, but states the truth of their hardships and fears. If you enjoy this genre, do not miss this one. Excellent! D.
