THE STOLEN SISTERS
Poland, 1944 with World War II in full swing, Marta only twelve years old and her little sister Joanna are quickly taken while they were out shopping for food. They were tossed onto an army truck with a swastika marked on the door. They are terrified and now all they have is each other. The truck is full of other children that were taken in the same manner.
Marta and Joanna are separated from each other and they fear they will never see each other again. Berlin, 2005 Marta is seventy years old and so many years have passed by.
Not a day goes by where Marta doesn’t wonder where Joanna is and if she is even still alive. Marta wonders, after all these years, can she still find Joanna?
The Stolen Sisters, written by author Ann Bennett, is an amazing story of family, courage and never giving up hope. This heartbreaking story left me in tears so many times. I loved the storyline and my heart tore into pieces for Marta and Joanna.
There were so many children that were taken and my tears flowed again for them. The events of this story chilled me to the bone, but I was encouraged by the people that took care of each other during an unimaginable time. This is one story I highly recommend. I really enjoyed this phenomenal book.
