"I was very surprised by this book. I expecting just your average self help book. And while there was definitely an element of therapy in it, I was captivated by her story. I enjoyed it from the minute it began! And it did not end after she was liberated from the camp. No, to me that is where things got really interesting! From there, I could not put the book down and was actually on the edge of my seat! This person has a fantastic story and an amazing message that can apply to anyone. Only you can make the choice to be a survivor. Highly recommend this book to anyone.<br/><br/>Oh and I feel it may be important to add that as far as WWll books go, this is one of the more mild ones go as far as graphic content."
