Very intetersing book

My daughter just loves this book. She read it three times and now asked me to get her more books written by this auther.

AMAZING!

After I read The Cage, I just had to read To Life. It is such a moving and touching story! Ruth Minsky Sender, the author of these two wonderful books, came and visited my school. She is an amazing women! She spent the day telling the facts that arent in her books. She is such a precious and delicate women that has so much information to offer.

a must read if you've read The Cage

To Life is the story of what happened to Riva when the concentration camp she spent years in was finally liberated.Honestly, The Cage was infinetely more interesting to me than this book was, but The Cage is without a doubt the best book I've ever read. To Life is not uninteresting by any means, however. The struggles Riva must go through are heart-wrenching. It really makes a person appreciate the life they have. When something good finally happens for Riva, the reader feels happy for her because she's been through so much. If you're going to read this book, you've just got to read The Cage first.

The most inspiring book that I have ever read!

This book, about a girl named Riva who survived the holocaust and rebuilt her life, was an amazing memoir by Ruth Minsky Sender. It showed how hard the holocaust was. I was so impressed with how well written this book is. Ruth Minsky Sender's story really inspires me. This was an excellent book.

A moving novel that keeps you reading!

This is a really good book.The Cage, the book that came befor this book, was really good but this one is better. It tells of what happened after Riva's concentration camp is liberated. It tells of the hardships that Riva has trying to find family...This is a great novel and its a good book to read if you loved The Cage.
