The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom

4.0

---

I dragged my feet on reading this because of the subject matter. It's the story of the ten Boom family's resistance to the Nazis in Holland. Though some of the situations are about as bad as can be imagined, it's not a graphic book, and it leaves one feeling more capable of doing good things in this life. I was afraid I would feel despair and horror and sickness reading another book about the Holocaust, but I felt inspired (as well as a little horrified and a little sick). It's a good book to remember when one is thinking about complaining. Nope. Not a thing to complain about here.
