Karl's story is amazing!
Dustin pens her father, Karl's story during WWII in the remarkable title in Save Me Twice. This is the second book of this author's that I've read. I read the acknowledgements and preface before the story, and it just grabbed this read. I could almost hear Karl tell his story. When the story starts, it immediately startles the reader, as it did Karl. "[Karl] jumped out from under his warm down comforter, swept aside a strand of red curls off his forehead, and hurriedly tip-toed to his bedroom door to press his ear against it. “SS! Open the door!” ordered a harsh, deep voice, accompanied by even more impatient banging. “SS!” Karl knew the SS was the German Schutzstaffel, soldiers known for their organized oppression under Hitler’s iron fist..." I read this book from start to end and couldn't put it down. It was not just a story, it was the life Karl lived during this most dramatic and traumatic time in history. Dustin does a wonderful job telling Karl's story second hand, and I truly enjoyed reading it, every emotion and fear, and startling truths. I look forward to reading more by this author. This book is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.
