Title: Bending toward the sun/Leslie Gilbert-Lurie
Post by: Berwyn Patsy on September 23, 2009, 04:22:46 PM
It's kinda early to start my winter reading.  I am so
glad I did though.

Bending toward the sun is a true story, about a child survivor of the
Holocaust and the next 2 generations of her family and how they are
coping with on going emotions, depression and daily life as the  decades
have gone by.

Truly a great ,heart warming but thought provoking book.  I couldn't
put it down.

Similar to "The diary of Anne Frank", yet special in it's own way.
