| Summary |
The true story of the author's life but filtered by using a child named Lara, "this tells the story of Lara's harrowing ordeal in war-ravaged Europe. It is a story about brutality, hatred, and unimaginable loss, but it is also a lasting testament to one little girl's indomitable will to survive. When she loses nearly everything she holds dear, Lara desperately clings to the all that remains -- the music indelibly etched in her memory and a small, smooth stone that she retrieved from the charred remains of her former home. That small stone became her symbol of strength. If it could survive the inferno and devastation, so could she."--Publisher's website. |
