Harper Paperbacks 6/16/2020. New paperback. Store pick: I read a lot of historical fiction, but this quickly climbed to the top of my favorites list. The majority of WWII fiction revolves around the camps, but this gave a new perspective - the kindertransports system, run by Truus, a woman unable to bear children herself who is determined to get all of the Jewish children safely out of Austria. It's one of those rare books with multiple storylines that keeps you engrossed in every single page, and leaves you in awe of the people who fought not only for their own lives, but for the lives of ev...

ISBN: 0062207512

Josephine Bell, a house slave in the 1850s, was similarly focused on her quest for freedom. Conklin does a masterful job comparing the lives of these two amazingly strong women who are both raised in the absence of the traditional family unit. The incorporation of archived letters telling of events at the time are fascinating to read. While a happy ending to a story involving slavery is not possible, the characters and their journey make this book a compellin...
