Little Girl Lost by Barbie Probert-Wright & Jean Ritchie


This work features: two sisters, a broken childhood, and a heartbreaking journey. This is the extraordinary true story of surviving the unimaginable...In 1945, seven-year-old Barbie and her sister Eva were trapped, terrified, in wartorn Germany. With their father missing, and hundreds of miles from their mother, news of the approaching army left them confronted with an impossible choice: to face invasion, or to flee on foot. Eva, aged nineteen, was determined to find her mother. For Barbie, twelve years younger, the journey was to be more perilous but, spurred on by her sister's courage and her desperate desire to be reunited with her mother, she joined Eva on a journey no child should ever have to endure. Over three hundred miles across a country ravaged by a terrible war, they encountered unimaginable hardship, extraordinary courage and overwhelming generosity. Against all the odds, they survived. But neither sister came out of the journey unscathed...

I read this book and cried a few times. It was so well written, you could almost feel the tension and the fear of a very scary time. I found my heart beating a bit faster and hoping that Barbie and her sister were safe.
