Looking forward to a great week!

I was amazed with the Ruta Sepetys', Between the Shades of Gray. The book was a remarkable, seldom told story of Stalin's regime in Lithuania in 1941. Lina, the main character is forced out of her home in the middle of the night, into a cattle truck and sent to a labor camp in Siberia.

This is a part of history that I did not know much about prior to reading this book. If you enjoy historical fiction, as I do, you will enjoy the emotional story of Lina and her struggles. Ruta Sepetys brings Lina's story, based on her research, to life in an amazing way.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
