“But even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room.”

The harrowing story of Anne Frank and her family is known worldwide however this book offers the perspective of the heroic Miep Gies, who hid the Frank family and her friends in war-torn Amsterdam. In doing so, she risked her own life and freedom. 

The completely selfless acts of not only Gies, but of many others, restores our faith in society and shows us that even in the most evil of times, there is still hope.
