This book was dedicated to young people who want to know more, and it’s a good story for doing just that. The dangers of standing up for the truth and the cost some people pay for doing so is eye opening. Well worth reading.

Recently I read a book titled Weeping Under This Same Moon. Two stories of a Vietnamese refugee girl and an American girl’s new found hope. Very good!
Sounds good. I’ll have to keep it in mind.
