The Forest of Vanishing Stars

Kristin Harmel

My thoughts:

This book was one of my favorite reads in a long time. It has made my top ten of the best books I have ever read, and because of it, I now want to read more from this author.

I laughed, I cried, and I loved the characters. Whether you read it or listen to it either way you will not be able to stop once you start.

Book Summary:

After being stolen from her wealthy German parents and raised in the unforgiving wilderness of Eastern Europe, a young woman finds herself alone in 1941 after her kidnapper dies. Her solitary existence is interrupted, however, when she happens upon a group of Jews fleeing the Nazi terror. Stunned to learn what’s happening in the outside world, she vows to teach the group all she can about surviving in the forest—and in turn, they teach her some surprising lessons about opening her heart after years of isolation. But when she is betrayed and escapes into a German-occupied village, her past and present come together in a shocking collision that could change everything.
