""Where this author shines is in her character development. We care about the three main characters and what they have to overcome to help the children."" HH Goodreads reviewer

""Never was the human struggle lost to the reader. Nor the dept of compassion in the worst of circumstances by a brave few. This is a story I will read and reread. I loved it. Highly recommend."" TR Goodreads reviewer

""There is also dept given to the antagonists in the story; in particular one of the Nazi officers whose past comes forth causing the reader to gain an understanding of how the vile dictator Hitler cast his web and enlisted his ""loyal victims."" Goodreads reviewer

""People need to read stories like this one to continue to be reminded of the sacrifices others have made in the name of freedom."" Goodreads reviewer 

""What I loved most about this book, as in all of this author's work, is the way she so cleverly brings to life real-world heroes who should never be forgotten. This is a book I will be thinking about for a long time to come."" Amazon reviewer

""The regular mentioning of how many children were taken “over the hedge” beats like a metronome: two hundred…three hundred…over six hundred…This is a remarkable tale. Beautifully written, heartfelt for every single character—admirable or vile, important in its message: “We must not forget for the great of our own future."" Amazon Reviewer 

""Once again Paulette Mahurin created a true historical fiction masterpiece…This book hits hard. It not only offers a meticulously researched glimpse into the past and reveals the nature of evil such as national socialism and similar movements, but also presents acts of kindness and self-sacrifice that will leave you breathless."" Amazon Reviewer

""I truly can’t recommend this book highly enough to all fans of historical fiction. So incredibly emotional and so very relevant today, it’s a must read for everyone. Five huge stars!"" Goodreads reviewer"
