Book Synopsis
From Heather Morris, the New York Times bestselling author of the multi-million copy bestseller The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Cilka's Journey: a story of family, courage, and resilience, inspired by a true story.
Against all odds, three Slovakian sisters have survived years of imprisonment in the most notorious death camp in Nazi Germany: Auschwitz. Livia, Magda, and Cibi have clung together, nearly died from starvation and overwork, and the brutal whims of the guards in this place of horror. But now, the allies are closing in and the sisters have one last hurdle to face: the death march from Auschwitz, as the Nazis try to erase any evidence of the prisoners held there. Due to a last minute stroke of luck, the three of them are able to escape formation and hide in the woods for days before being rescued. And this is where the story begins. From there, the three sisters travel to Israel, to their new home, but the battle for freedom takes on new forms. Livia, Magda, and Cibi must face the ghosts of their past--and some secrets that they have kept from each other--to find true peace and happiness. Inspired by a true story, and with events that overlap with those of Lale, Gita, and Cilka, The Three Sisters will hold a place in readers' hearts and minds as they experience what true courage really is.About the Author

This was a beautiful story of survival, but I felt like it was a little lacking in the story telling aspect of it. I did appreciate that the author seemed to stay very true to the sister’s actual story, but I feel like that also caused it to feel a little flat. Definitely a story that deserved to be told and glad it was out there for me to read.
Would you keep the promise?

It will take more than the soil of a new earth under their fingernails to feel safe again. What is in a promise? For Cibi, Magda and Livi it was the will to survive unspeakable horrors, grief, guilt and more. So much has been written about Auschwitz, Birkenau and other concentration camps but to hear the details from those that experienced it and survived is almost surreal. The author did not try to sugarcoat the details. It certainly made me want to hold those dear to me very close. Join this family as they relate what it was like to be Jewish during WW2. This amazing tale of wits and courage was received through St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley. These impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
