The Light in Hidden Places by Sharon Cameron

Wow. The Light in Hidden Places by Sharon Cameron… what an incredible story. This novel is based on the heroic true story of sisters Stefania and little Helena Podgórska. They were young and alone in German occupied Przemyœl, Poland. With what little they had, they bravely decided to aid Jewish people in a time when that meant certain death. I want to try to avoid spoiling too much of the story in case you’re like me, and prefer to see the story unfold as you go. If you are like this, I would also suggest avoiding the synopsis, seeing as it is essentially an outline of the entire novel. I will however say that this book is extremely interesting, enjoyable, and worthwhile, and I simply couldn’t put it down. There are so many stories, like this one, of bravery during WWII surrounding The Holocaust that deserve to be told, and I was so glad that I was able to experience this one. This novel was incredibly inspiring and I would very highly recommend it to any fellow reader.

About Sophia N.

Hi! My name’s Sophia and I am a student at SVHS. I play three sports, so many are surprised when I tell them that my absolute favorite thing to do is read. Besides reading, I enjoy music, photography, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends. However, in my humble opinion, nothing beats curling up with a steaming cup of tea and a good book! I love so many genres, but, if I had to choose a favorite, it would be fantasy. This explains why my favorite authors include John Green, Cassandra Clare, Sarah J. Maas, Rick Riordan, Suzanne Collins, and Marissa Meyer.
