This review is from: Tilli's Story: My Thoughts Are Free (Paperback)

An amazing book about an amazing woman's struggles in German during the Nazi rule & later Russian rule. This should be included in every library collection of WWII books. It's a different perspective than any other WWII book out there. It's from a farm girl's veiw of the war & Hitler. All a true story that will open your eyes to life & war & family love. You will not be able to put it down. Also, a great book club selection with many great discussion points. Everyone I've given this book to LOVES it & you will too.

This review is from: Tilli's Story: My Thoughts Are Free (Hardcover)

This book just made me feel like I was there in all the horrors Tilli was going through. I understood her feelings about the people and conditions she endured. Her love for family members, her determination to change her life, but not her inner self. This should make it to Oprah's book list if anything does. Just a wonderful book, the first one I've ever seen spanning WWII and the two Germanies.

I love good thrillers, and this truly is one. The things young Tilli had to endure just to acheive something we take for granted every day. Freedom. She had such hope, such spirit. Nothing could stop her, and nothing could stop me from reading! It was a wonderful retelling of an amazing journey. One everyone could learn from.
