I highly recommend all three of Correa’s books about the holocaust. Each sheds light on different aspects of the tragic history and policies of the Nazis and other even the allies. As I was reading this one, I met the daughter of a holocaust survivor ...more

I couldn't put this down. Can't wait to read Part 2. So much I didn't know about Cher. I chose the audiobook, as I wanted to hear it in her own voice. If you want to hear Cher's narration, be aware the vast majority of the book is narrated by someone ...more

I felt drawn to this book like a magnet on the heels of reading two important but unsettling non-fiction bestsellers. Yes, I knew Hoda. But as a holistic therapist myself, I was more interested in her positive mindset than her personal life. I'm so g ...more
