I absolutely loved this book! It's honesty had a huge impact on me for years. I first heard of the book while listening to Focus on the Family - Dr. Dobson was interviewing Diet Eman. Her accent was very heavy so I ordered the tape to listen to the interview over again and then ordered the book. This is NOT a book that will leave you wanting to skip off into the sunset. Rather, it is a profound story of a young Christian woman falling in love and planning to marry when her country is invaded by the Nazi's. Another reviewer was disappointed by the lack of history yet I found the attitudes reflected in this book very interesting for this time. If nothing else, it helps me to understand why some Jewish people, especially secular Jews, are so distrustful of Christians, even American Christians.
