Reviews

"Through the diary entries that Grace reads, the author is able to give readers a glimpse of what life was like in Belgium during the dark days of Nazi occupation. The multi-layered plot is intricately woven and well paced. The resolution is emotionally satisfying, making this a story that will appeal to a wide range of readers. " —Lisa Doucet, Co-Manager of Woozles Children's Bookstore in Halifax

"[Greer] masterfully explores the relationship between Grace and Dotty, which is both heart wrenching and beautiful. This books reminds us about the resilience of the human spirit and that good can come from tragedy. You?ll find yourself thinking about Grace and her story long after you finish.
