Quote: 

Rachel is German and Jewish.  Life is good and revolves around Sabbath meals with her family.

Summary: From the author of Hello God comes a moving story about the impact of war on ordinary people, beautifully written.

Review: 

Rachel is German and Jewish and living in Leipzig, Germany. Life is good, and revolves around Sabbath meals shared with her happy family. With the outbreak of World War II, their lives are changed. The family are forced to move from their comfortable home into cramped housing, and when the Nazis arrive to finally take the family away they don’t know what is to become of them.
But Rachel's father gives her instructions that save her life. He also tells her not to speak. Rachel remains quiet for the rest of the war, but what happened to her family? Will Rachel regain her voice now that she really needs it?
A beautiful book about children and the good to be found in people.  Very inspiring.
