This is the book I’ve read and would like to read it again, as a chess player mentioned it to me, I’ve thought to read it again!

This was a very good book and, surprisingly, the movie wasn’t too bad, either. Her courage and devotion to the Lord were exceptional. Her sister died at Ravensbruck concentration camp, were Corrie was also imprisoned.
I haven’t seen the movie, would like to see it though…but will surely get me the book again! and thanks for mentioning it on the chess site! I really enjoy books like these!
