Book: The Girls of the Glimmer Factory 

Author: Jennifer Coburn 

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Review:

This is the second book I’ve read by Coburn, and once again, I’m struck by how she captures my attention right from the first page. Her storytelling in this novel is particularly compelling.

The story revolves around the Nazis’ plan to create a propaganda film depicting a false image of the Theresienstadt ghetto. Hannah Kaufman, a Jewish woman opposed to the Nazi regime, and other like-minded individuals in the camp, are determined to expose the truth. Although they can't halt the film’s production, they know they must act quickly and strategically.

Hannah’s childhood friend, Hilde, is a strong Nazi supporter. She’s drawn to the promises of prosperity under Hitler’s rule and is eager to build a career in filmmaking.

Told from multiple perspectives, the book provides a nuanced view of the differing beliefs held during the war. The author crafts a thought-provoking ending, and the inclusion of the “Reading Group Guide” offers deep reflections that linger well beyond the final page.

  🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Book: Growing through the Storm Author: Sheila Malsam Rating: 5/5 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Review: "Growing through the Storm" is one of the best books that I have read this year. This book teaches us to not give up too soon on God and our faith. It teaches us to hang tightly to God. This book made me believe that if things aren't happening our way in our life then they will happen in God's way when the time is right.  This book made me realize how stupid I was to not believe firmly in God. God is the answer to all our problems. He gives challenges and problems to us so that they can shape us and make us stronger. I appreciate Sheila's parents for the support they provided to her daughter. The support and love from loved ones is very important in troubled times. Even after two troubled marriages, her parents and children didn't give up on her. Loved ones should support their family members in times of need.  Sheila's sister made her realize how she wasn...

Everyone believed that he was taking good care of him. However, Ronnie was on the street from eight or nine in the morning until ten at night. Ronnie was doing all this for his mother.  To keep his mother out of the hospital, he was working for Charlie. Ronnie was afraid to upset him. He was doing business even though he felt guilty initially for doing it. Charlie has taught Ronnie to never leave a block without making a deal. Charlie kept him in business for a long time.
