Heart breaking loss and heart filling faith not only in God but in the inherent good of the people Corrie ten Boom encountered. This is a book about how a family's faith carried them through the most violent of times. Corrie manages to tell her story by emphasizing the humanity of the people around her and not wallowing in the violence which surrounded them. Her story is told, graphic violence not needed, her faith is shown, preaching is not needed. I laughed and I cried and I wish I had found this book sooner. This would have been a better option as required reading rather than the Diary of Ann Frank.
