Surviving With Wolves - not for the faint hearted!

Imagine this: You're seven years old; your Jewish parents are taken away by the Nazis, and all you know is that they've gone east. You desperately want to find them so you embark on a journey that leads you through Belgium, Germany, Poland, and the Ukraine. On foot.

Impossible right?
The book "Surviving With Wolves" is the account of Misha Defonseca's journey across Europe during World War ll to find her parents. Filled with horror and inspiration, ignorance and understanding, cruelty and love, this is a confronting book about the atrocities one little girl experiences and about the connection and sanctuary she finds with packs of wolves along the way.
For it's inspiration or for it's brutality this book will stay with you long after you've read it.
