5.0

A beautifully written book. It shows how emotionally draining and gut wrenching these times were. I think the author does a wonderful job showing the decay in both sister’s emotional and physical decay. 
Loved this book.

Grab tissues. 

The story about love found during absolute tribulation is so profound. A tale of friendship, family, survival, humble heros, and  unexpected strength during a time of disgusting tragedy. I couldn't put it down.
