"There is a lot packed into this fast-paced book that actively begins in 1932 and continues through the British pulling out of Palestine. This one offers a different glimpse, even if you've read other books about Ravensbruk and Auschwitz. And yes, you will be horrified & heartbroken as this family is shattered. The author continues the story after WW II ends, into the displaced persons camps of Europe, including the obstacles Jews faced in trying to enter Palestine. I highly recommend this well-written, powerful novel detailing the plight of a German-Jewish family of seamstresses. If you love historical fiction, you won't want to miss this one. It's going to stay with me for a long time." -Netgalley Review

"One of the unique aspects of the novel that I particularly enjoyed was the expansive storyline, which spans from the events leading up to the war to the aftermath of liberation and beyond. Through Sara's journey, readers are not only immersed in the horrors of Auschwitz but also given a glimpse into the lives of characters before and after the war, offering a more comprehensive understanding of their experiences and the lasting impact of trauma." -Goodreads Review

"A heart-wrenching, compelling story, beautifully written. C.K. McAdam tells the story of so many through the eyes of Sara and her family. A harrowing journey of the endurance of the human spirit, love, and hope in the face of grotesque adversity. I hope we all remember - so as to NEVER repeat it. Highly recommended!" -Goodreads Review

"The story was well-paced, covering a large timespan without speeding through pieces or allowing the reader to get bogged down with too many unnecessary details. The author didn't sugarcoat the horrors that occurred in the camps, but was still able to portray the hope of survival for Sara and her family." -Netgalley Review
