Wonderful story
Beckstrand definitely caught the eye of this reader with his previous books, but this one, is so different from his other writings. I enjoyed reading Ida’s Witness: The True Story of an Immigrant Girl. There is something personal behind the words, and it is also filled with love and faith. Ida is a strong girl, and has under gone a lot in her years, and yet, she still has faith in the future. She even believes in miracles. Beckstrand brought Ida and her journey to life in his pages. It was heartfelt and delightful, and I think this book would be best read by anyone, and if they can't read yet, they should have it read to them. I look forward to more of Beckstrand's work.
