Hannah Senesh's story is one of courage, character, and strength. It is also a story about a young woman who strived to follow her own path, who looked for a place to fit in, and who strived to find her own identity. Finally, So Young To Die is a story about a woman who, even under the worst kinds of circumstances, rose above them and never broke.
Hannah's story is told in such a way that younger readers will understand, yet shows all of her characteristics and provides a role model for young women - no matter what their faith might be.
