Relatively unknown but on par with "Hiding Place" and "Goodbye is not forever" in terms of its power, I highly recommend this book, which is silently dedicated to the many innocents who lost their lives in the Stalinist USSR. It's simple, elegant narrative packs a cumulative punch in illustrating what it means to take up the cross and follow Jesus. I would have loved to meet Ms. Bershadsky, whom I believe must be at this moment sitting next to Jesus. God bless your soul, Ms. Bershadsky, and also all those who suffered with you in person or in spirit.
