This book is a wonderful true story of two people whose love and persistence endured the separation and atrocities of World War II. It travels full-circle from their experiences and their final destination of freedom in Bermuda, to meeting in Bermuda 50 years later to tell the story to their children. I was unable to put this book down. The heart-wrenching story, documented with such clarity and passion by their daughter, is one of the most moving books I have ever read.

I Loved this book! I felt like I was actually THERE, experiencing all the trials and tribulations along with them!! At some parts I could actually feel my heartbeat increase! I also liked the writters' style - the interjection of her thoughts in italics - made it more personal and real. Wonderful, quick, absorbing read. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially history buffs.

I am in Junior High School and enjoy reading history accounts from the WW11 era. I have read many books, regarding this topic. My dad got me this book to read. Its the best book I have read about a couple dealing with the Nazi occupation. The account of the young couple,escaping occupied Europe at the begining of the War shows how strong, and brave they had to be to overcome so many obstacles that got in their way.
Its a wonderful story of love, and bravery.

An intimate look at one family's history dealing with WWII, fleeing the Nazi's, making their way to the U.S. A world history lesson told in a very personal way. A quick, easy and very delightful read. If you or someone you know experienced something similar -- you and they will enjoy this book. Children with parents, grandparents or grandparents who fled Europe during WWII will gain a much better appreciation of their own family -- and the risks taken, hardships endured and sacrifices made so that they could have a better life.
