THE GIRL WHO RISKED IT ALL

Hannah is a Jewish refugee and arrives in France with her younger sister Lotte. Hannah has promised to keep her safe, protect her and never be separated from each other.  But with the war looming, Hannah has no choice but to leave Lotte at a children’s home that has offered to take her in.  

It’s the only way Hannah can protect her.  Hannah has no where to go and finds herself wandering aimlessly but knows she can’t survive without somewhere to go.  Soon she meets Michel, and he and his parents welcome her into their home.  

When Michel is sent to the frontlines, Hannah once again is completely alone.  She joins the Resistance and is determined to keep others alive.   But when Hannah heard of a raid planned on the children’s home where Lotte was living, she knew she had to rescue her sister.  

Unsure if she could save her, Hannah wonders where will they go from there to continue to be free, and out of the hands of the Nazis?

The Girl Who Risked it All, written by author Kate Hewitt is an amazing story of courage, strength and never giving up.  I love all the stories of the courageous people, and what they did for each other during the horrific war.  The sacrifices they made for total strangers that soon became family to them.  


Each other was all they had and with their massive internal strength they somehow survived.  Hewitt is an amazing author with so much detail in her writing that you can feel the cold night air on your face and the emotions of having to leave family behind to protect them.  


My heart was broken into the smallest of pieces during much of this story, but I never lost hope.  This inspiring story is one that I highly recommend.
