I couldn't put the book down!
I became very involved with the characters and the storyline almost from page one. You will be rooting for the main character and knowing that it all really happened makes it even more vivid and compelling for the reader. The author has provided a window to a world and time that seems so far removed from our present existence and yet it was less than a century ago. Reading this true account of a mind-boggling time in our past, you cringe at the atrocities some human beings (if you can call them humans) have committed against others and marvel at the human spirit in surviving it all and living to tell about it. This is a must-read for everyone not only to be part of history and learn from the past but also to renew your hope in the human spirit.

From one book lover to another
I have heard of “starving Armenians” often at the dinner table when I was a child. But I never knew what it really meant until I read this true-story book. The story is very gripping and it hunted me way after I finished reading it. I can’t remember when it was the last time a book moved me so much—made me laugh, weep and feel so good.
