Fascinating historical fiction submitted by Bethybeth07 on June 25, 2022, 8:56pm This book is well written and tells a horrendous story in a careful and thoughtful way. While it is fiction, the events portrayed are based off actual historical events. By telling the story of the family, it gives the reader a more clear picture of how these events affected its victims.
