By Sydelle Pearl

Book Overview

In the heart of the Warsaw Ghetto, a young girl discovers the power of words to transcend darkness.

1941. Twelve-year-old Rivka Rosenfeld, confined to the Warsaw Ghetto, finds solace in storytelling after her grandfather is brutalized by German soldiers. Amidst scarce housing and constant fear, Rivka writes in the margins of a library copy of Hans Christian Andersen, her imagination taking flight when all else seems lost.

When Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum, founder of the Underground Archive, recognizes Rivka's gift, he asks her to contribute her stories, offering a chance for her words to rise above the suffering. Can Rivka's tales of hope and resilience truly make a difference in the face of unimaginable adversity? Discover a heartbreaking yet ultimately uplifting story of the Warsaw Ghetto, where the power of imagination becomes an act of resistance. Perfect for readers of historical fiction seeking stories of Jewish resilience during World War II.
