This book serves as a reminder of the tenuousness of life and the fragility of our freedoms... Bravo on a story of inspiration and hope!
-Hon. Ed Fast, MP (Abbotsford)
A memorable story of God's gracious protection and provision... Highly recommended.
-Dr. Rick Reed, Chancellor, Heritage College and Seminary
Rita Hill was born in Russia during the time its dictator Stalin was purging the country of possible traitors. During World War II, her family was evacuated to Germany, where they were housed in a refugee camp without bomb shelters. Frequent air raids drove them into the woods that surrounded the camp.
Their quest for freedom led them through dangerous war zones, into the terror of the Dresden firebombing, and eventually to a town in the Thuringian Mountains, where they sought to evade capture by the Soviet forces that seemed right on their heels.
Following the war, they found themselves delivered back into the hands of the Soviets once again. Rita's story of faith, strength, and resilience is the moving account of one family's struggle to survive in their pursuit of freedom.
