Another fantastic Golden Sower Nominee. This work of historical fiction is amazing. This tells the story of 15 year old Lina and her mother and brother who are taken from their home in Lithuania and by the Soviet secret police. They are taken to Soviet work camps and made to live in horrible conditions and do back breaking work. I think this is a wonderful addition to the other works of WWII historical fiction. So much is written about the atrocities (awful things) that Hitler was doing, sometimes what the Soviets, under Stalin's rule, were doing during this same time period is overlooked. This was a wonderful, powerful book about courage and strength of spirit. I loved it.
