The Secret Letter by Debbie Rix
4.0
The Secret Letter by Debbie Rix is based on real events and has two stories in one. Magda, a German girl living on a farm with her family, courageously joins the White Rose Movement. The next character is based on the author's mother. Imogen is one of the children evacuated to the countryside by their parents. She becomes a WREN and does her part for the war effort.
It's an intriguing story of courage and love. The characters are what made me keep turning the pages in this book. I wanted to know what happened to them, especially how they were connected. We cover a large time period of their lives so you get to know each of them very well. It's a well written coming of age story that's emotional and heartbreaking.
