"A shocking, profoundly moving, and morally challenging story... nothing short of miraculous. It will haunt you, it will help to complete you..." - Augusten Burroughs. New York Times bestselling author of a Wolf at the Table and Running with Scissors

Taken

Sarah and her family have been taken away from their home and taken to a giant arena with tons of other Jewish people by the French police. Beforehand Sarah had locked her younger brother in a cupboard thinking it will save him and she'll just come back for him later that night. Sarah then found out she was not going to be going home. This situation made me feel so bad for Sarah. She thought she was doing something good for her brother by trying to protect him from the police. However locking him in the cupboard may have been just as bad. If Sarah doesn't get back to her brother in time he may die anyways. If I were in Sarah's position I would feel so guilty and angry with myself knowing I may have been the reason my brother died. I can't imagine how I would if I were Sarah in the moment she found out she wasn't going to be going home to get her brother. Sarah realized she may never see her brother again and that thought just makes me sick knowing you'd never be able to see someone you love ever again.
