Unafraid to confess her failures, Millie's candor will endear you to her vulnerability as an insecure child, her feisty personality as an adolescent girl, and her humanity as a young lady with dreams of falling in love. Her passion for music and dancing, while dressed in a glamorous gown, highlight the saga of a woman caught between worldly ways and the guilt of disobedience for failing to comply with teachings of the Torah. Millie's tenacity as a survivor of war, her personal failures, and the love and forgiveness she received from God illustrate the traits of women of each generation.

What an amazing story. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Mrs. Nielsen tells her story with honesty and grace. Her amazing joy comes out and you realize that it can only come from one place! I highly recommend it.
