We remember...
The Holocaust.

Those words bring into mind images of destruction, devastation and death. Broken families, broken homes and broken lives; the terror inflicted by Hitler and his minions were cold and unthinking. The prisoners in those camps were treated not like humans, not even like animals but as 'mistakes' or 'messes' that could be cleaned up without a second thought.

In his mind, Hitler thought he was right. He or his followers did not express any guilt or remorse at taking so many lives and for me, that is far worse.

A powerful story of two sisters
The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly hooked me from the first chapter. The sisters Ivy and Autumn lost their mother to cancer three years ago, and their father has remarried. Ivy is a nerd girl band geek and Autumn is the “bad girl”, dealing drugs and getting into trouble. They barely communicate, but when Autumn is kidnapped, Ivy knows something is very wrong and does not give up on Autumn despite others assuming that Autumn’s disappearance is just due to her own bad behavior. This book is a well written thriller with excellent characters, and skillfully explores the bond between the sisters, friendships, and families. The author also examines how girls’ lives are valued less than those of boys. It was hard to put down and thought provoking.
