My Mother's War: The Incredible True Story of How a Resistance Fighter Survived Three Concentration Camps by Eva Taylor.

Today's nonfiction post is on My Mother's War: The Incredible True Story of How a Resistance Fighter Survived Three Concentration Camps by Eva Taylor. It is 208 pages long and is published by Hanover Square Press. The cover has a woman in the righthand cover with planes overhead. The intended reader is someone who is interested in memoirs, women's history, and World War II history. There is some mild foul language, no sex, and some violence in this book. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- After her mother’s death, Eva Taylor discovered an astounding collection of documents, photos and letters from her time as a resistance fighter in Nazi-occupied Holland. Using the letters, she reconstructed her mother's experience in the underground resistance movement and then as a prisoner in the Amersfoort, Ravensbruck and Mauthausen concentration camps.
The letters reveal an amazing story of life during wartime, including declarations of love from her fiancé before his tragic death as a Spitfire pilot, prison notes smuggled out in her laundry, and passionate but sometimes terrifying messages from a German professional criminal who ultimately would save Sabine’s life.
A one-of-a-kind story of survival, My Mother’s War captures a remarkable life in the words of the young woman who lived it.

Review- This is a moving story about a mother and her secret life. Taylor never asked her mother about her life doing the war. After she dies, Taylor finds many documents from her mother during the war. She then discovers what her mother survived, all the loses, the terror, and her bravery. Taylor gets to see and show the reader her mother, a woman who never lost faith in the future. This a moving book, Taylor learned so much about what drove her mother and why her mother acted the way she did when Taylor was a child. I recommend this book. 

I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
