I devoured this wonderful book!
Three Sisters was the third book by Heather Morris that I had the opportunity to read. It was not my favorite of her books but I appreciated that Heather Morris was able to share the sister’s story with her readers. These stories must continue to be handed down and talked about through future generations so that a Holocaust can never happen again. As in her two previous novels, Heather Morris was able to convey and portray through dialogue and acts the love, anguish, terror, regrets, bravery, co...

This is the third book in the Tattooist of Auschwitz Series but can be read as a stand-alone. Three Sisters by Heather Morris is a beautifully written heartbreaking story based on true events. Morris is an auto-buy author for me because I love WWII Fiction and she has a way of bringing life lessons to the forefront in such a positive way. In Three Sisters, Morris shares the story of Cibi, Magda and Livia. As families were being torn apart during WWII, these children promised their father that th...

Livi is only three years old - the wild one, Cibi is the oldest at seven and has a fiery temper, and Magda is five, the beauti...
