Book Review: Sown in Tears by Beverly Magid

 

 

 Sown in Tears by Beverly Magid

 

Book starts out with dedications and then the story.

It follows Leah and her spouse and two young children. They are Jews in Russia and they are blamed for the country’s– problems’ like the losing battle with Japan.

They are under attack themselves so often. they hide in underground area but they are found one night.  

Story describes horrific scenes of fighting and tragic outcomes. 

Leah is strong, she has to be to tend to the children and she knows how to barter for food and things they need. She will do just about anything for their survival. She has relatives but they are moving to the US. She has to befriend some and join revolution to keep going. Riveting story of the things she has to do and why she is able to survive. Love hearing about how just a few items from her mother are her only possessions.

 Received this review coy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
