Alone Yet Not Alone - a book review and GIVEAWAY

This page may contain affiliate links.

    Over my lifetime, I've read a few books along similar themes in this new book:  Alone Yet Not Alone. 

    Because it was a shorter read than some of the books I receive for reviews and giveaways, and it was geared toward upper elementary and middle school ages, I decided to let my 13-year-old, Brittany, read and review the book for us!

Book Reviews by Brittany:

    "The Leininger family settled deep within America's new frontier, in the Blue Mountains of Pennsylvania. They were celebrating their blessings, their faith, and a bountiful harvest when their family was torn apart by the Penn's Creek Massacre. When Barbara and Regina are carried away and separated by Allegheny warriors, both sisters rely on their faith in God's truth, even in their darkest hour."

    I really liked this book. Being only about 150 pages long, it's a quick read that was very interesting, even to non-book-fanatics like myself!

    This book was very inspirational, and since it was based on a true story, that made it even more interesting. Seeing how the Indian tribes worked, and how the American girls had to adapt to the Indian lifestyle, was well written. I could almost feel how they felt in those hard times.

    I really loved how God was a part of the girls' lives, even in the hard times they were going through. Barbara (the older sister), and Regina (the younger sister) had a very close relationship that was hard to break, and even though they were separated from their families, they still trusted in God for everything they did.

    All in all, this is a good, quick read that I would recommend for all ages!

    Thanks, Brittany, for helping out and writing the book review for us all to read.

,Mom!
