The Letter Carrier by L.C. Lewis – Review by Shelly Kittell

The Letter Carrier by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a nonfiction biography that will truly give you a look into the WWII from when the Germans invaded France. Michelle tells us about the struggles she and her family faced in trying to just stay safe and alive. There were many struggles: not knowing if family members were alive; not knowing if they were going to have enough of anything to survive; etc. This is an emotional book because it is true. You will feel the feelings. They are trying to escape and the Germans are shooting at the road they are on while her mom is trying to deliver a friend’s baby. The one constant in this story si that Michelle never loses her faith in God. She knows that He will take care of them and provide. She was a strong child, who turned into a strong young woman and woman. She persevered a lot. She fought with the resistance. She was an amazing woman. I especially loved the letter from her daughter telling how her life turned out. I can’t describe how much this book touched me. I had great-grandparents that escaped the concentration camps so I have always read personal stories from that time in history. I want to thank the author and Michelle for sharing that story. I truly with I could give more than 5 stars. This is the best nonfiction book of 2022 that I have read this year.
