Burning Girls by Veronica Schanoes

5.0

''Deborah - the judge."
''She is sharp enough, but there is no heart in her chest, only a steel gear.''

So she thought to herself
"if I cannot be pretty and if I cannot be kind, I can be powerful, I would be powerful, and make everybody see it.''

Deborah a Jewish girl has been trained by her witch grandmother, and try to save her family in the late nineteenth century in Poland and NEW WORLD.
I find myself heartbreaking as reading this short, fantasy, historical, fairy retelling, wonderful, fascinating, impressive, and terribly sad story.

"In America, they don’t let you burn. My mother told me that.''
BUT I wept while burning there.

Highly Recommended.
