THE GIRL WHO NEVER GAVE UP


Germany 1939, World War II rages on across Europe and Franz Blau is released from Dachau.  Franz and his wife Rachel, know that they have to leave their homeland, Germany, if they want any chance at all of survival.  Franz is weak from Dachau and Rachel is his strength and hope.


They seek solace in the Netherlands and without knowing the language, they see the Germans getting closer and closer to the border.  They don’t think they have anywhere to go until Corrie ten Boom and her family help them hide in order to survive.


Once again Franz and Rachel are captured and they are separated from each other and sent to different camps.  It’s not long before Rachel discovers she is expecting, and now her focus is not only to find Franz but now she must risk her life to save her baby.  


The Girl Who Never Gave Up, written by author Kate Hewitt, is an amazing story of courage and never giving up hope.  I loved this book from cover to cover.  What a phenomenal storyline, incorporating the amazing Corrie ten Boom into the book.  


This wonderful story had me in tears quite a few times, but I was also cheering on Franz, Rachel and their baby.  I loved the faith they had in each other, and they never, ever gave up.  As difficult as it was they still held on to the hope of making it through.  This heartbreaking and unputdownable story is one that I highly recommend.
