[Donna Davies · Rating 4 out of 5]

ww2, historical fiction, a young girl is found wondering alone and is adopted into a family. But what became of her own family and origin? I thoroughly enjoyed the premise for this story, but what is a very short story could have been a full book. Would have loved to read more.

Haunting

This is another novella with regards to the holocaust, the persecution of the Jews and World War II. In such a short book life is displayed in all its glory in a haunting way. it’s all about remembering Who we are, where we come from the things we carry in our hearts.

Short story that left me wanting more. Well wrote. A page turner. This is very promising start from this author. I cant wait to see the next installment.
