Lilac Girls

This book has been on my to read list for awhile, and a co-worker recently had offered it up to borrow.  So of course I jumped at the chance!  In exchange I lent her The Alice Network, which is similar in nature and content. 

This book was an excellent read and compelling story of the strength of women and the challenges I fortunately cannot relate to in my life, but have compassion and love for the strength these women show in their suffering.

A friend of mine also recently told me that people who read stories are some of the more compassionate and loving people.  I hope that is something good that comes of my reading!
