I loved this authors books. Taking real Holocaust stories and telling them in a way where they melded with fiction. The Tattooist of Auschwitz will always hold a special place. I love and appreciate that she told this story of three sisters that also made it out alive. It’s sad and hard and real. I appreciate her focus also on what happened when it was all over for survivors. Excellent perspective and important

I liked this book, but I didn't love it. It seemed to drag on in places. My favorite of Heather Morris's books is "Cilka's Journey." This one just felt alittle too long, like it kept going where it didn't need to. I loved the overall story and the sisters' promise to each other. The beginning was very good! I just felt that the ending went on and on.
