Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week in celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth and untold stories of real-life heroes, I’m featuring powerfully told historical fiction: Hidden Yellow Stars by Rebecca Connolly.

My Summary:
Andrée Geulen and Ida Sterno risk their lives to secretly defy the Nazis in Belgium and take action to hide as many Jewish children as possible from the Gestapo. This story is based on two real-life heroes.

I love when characters are based on real life heroes and I can google them!
So do I. They’re the best.
Carol, I think I have more books on my TBR shelf that you recommended than anyone else. This is one of them. Books based on real characters are so interesting.
My fav characters are real life ones!
