never after the Bible have i read a book with m ore impact on me. from 1944 until 1991 unknown to the world the 3 countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithunoans sent to Siberia suffered so so horrific cruelities. how could this be hidden sooo very long from the world? God Almighty had to have fortified these dear people. i strongly recommend this book to the world in 2014 so we may pray knowing this knowledge for an end to evil.

True story
This is a heart wrenching story. I enjoyed reading this very much. I am always interested in stories of this kind and I love biographies and historical books. The author makes the story very readable. More of this kind would appeal to me.
