I could barely put this book down and could hardly believe the harrowing experiences that the Germans went through while living in Czechoslovakia after WWII. Many times throughout the book, I tried to put myself in Ruth's terrifying circumstances wondering if I could act with the same bravery and courage she did. Hopefully by the grace of God I'll never need to know. I, also, have total respect for her always protecting her mother even in moments (actually only one moment) when I felt the mother didn't deserve it. Ruth was a very special person.I'm glad to read that there's a next portion of her autobiography because when the book ended I felt like the story didn't end for me. This book is definitely a must-read. I loved it.
