This is truly an inspiring, thought provoking story of survival and love. The idea that happiness can be found anywhere and from anyone. This story is one that I will never forget about.
The themes in this book are unimaginable and terrifying, but they are so important to learn about. Eddie provides an emotional account of the horrors that so many people had to face and while I have never experienced this, I think daily of those who did.
Thank you once more, Eddie. May you rest in peace forever, and may your story never be forgotten. Couldn’t recommend this book enough.
