This book is a tear jerking, but also very inspiring. They never give up and find ways to survive such a horrific fate that was handed to them. MUST READ!

I couldn't put this down. As harrowing as the events that take place are this is a beautiful story of one mans survival and cunning that not only kept him alive but helped others survive. His determination o survive only grew as he fell in love and it shows that even when the worst horrors are occurring that love can still blossom and create light in dark times.
