This book is a heart tugger, that will keep you turning page after page in an unstoppable kind of way. I read it in one day and had to reread it afterwards because it was such an amazing book. Ms. Anetka Kaminska was a very brave girl, and even though all of the happenings in her life weren't the most ideal of situations she finds a way to have a life that flourishes after all. I highly recommend this book and will never (personally) get rid of my copy! Thank you so much to the paperbackswap member who gave this book to me, it's very special to me.
