I have been reading the book called, As I Have Loved You," by Kitty De Ruyter-Bons. I've read it four times now. It's one of my all-time favorite books. It takes place during World War II. It is so inspiring to me.
I was reading it tonight with Tessa out loud. I was reading her a part where the author's mother shaves all the young women's hair because the Japanese soldiers want to use them for prostitutes. This mom then endured torture beyond anything imaginable, because of her bravery and willingness to save the virtue of the girls. It always makes me cry when I read this part. It is an unbelievable test of a human soul and this mother shows such amazing strength of character. I want to be that kind of woman.
Patty Chamber's has referred to that story before, I guess I better read the book, thanks for sharing. Your bunnies are very cute!
