Sarah's Key

Sarah is a 10 year old in Paris happy with life...well that is until the French Police start making rounds gathering up the Jewish families.  She is taken with her parents in the middle of the night...in a a desperate moment Sarah wanted more then anything to protect her baby brother and locked him in the closet sure that she would be able to return later the next day to let him out when things are safer. 

Flash forward 60 years to Julia who uncovers Sarah and her story.  The people in Paris have tried to forget this ugly part in their history but Julia can't do that.  Julia's findings change her relationship with her family, with others and herself.  Thing won't be the same. 

It is a heartbreaking story...as most all of the stories from this time in history are.  It is gut wrenching to think that people could be so cruel and awful to other humans.  Disgusting really.  It is amazing the strength that people have as the endure things that I truly can't imagine. 

It is amazing story...one worth reading.
