A walk of courage…Many emotions are woven into the story, beautifully and tastefully done. It is a stark reminder of the cruelty that once existed.

My book The Seven Year Dress is continuing to rank in the top 100 best sellers in the kindle bookstore in the literary-fiction-historical, literary fiction, and the young adult categories. I’ve also been ranked by Amazon as top ranking author for two of my books, The Seven Year Dress and To Live Out loud, in the historical fiction category and the Teen/Young Adult category. And  in the literary fiction category for The Seven Year Dress. And  my book His Name Was Ben is #12 on the Amazon Best Sellers in General category. See photos below.

I’m deeply grateful for everyone who has purchased, read, and taken the time to review my book. In the name of tolerance, a special thank you also to everyone who has spread the word to help promote this book.  All profits from my books go to help get dogs like Elton, Stashia, Davinci and Treat (see photo below) out of kill shelters. Thus far in 2016, 177 dogs have been freed. Last year 148 dogs were freed.

AND please for everyone who’s purchased a book could I humbly ask you to write a review when you’ve completed the read. I have just found out that Amazon promotes and ranks books according to number of reviews in addition to sales. Every voice helps spread the word and that is an energy that can help a dog.

Amazing and well written. While it is based in a dreadful place at a dreadful time it gives one insight and hope about the human condition and ability to see the good and persevere. It reminds of the importance of focusing on life and the small things

5.0 out of 5 starsUnbelievable horror

ByIan Langleyon October 20, 2016

Another very sad book on what happened to prisoners during the 2nd WW. I still can’t comprehend how human beings can treat their fellow beings the way some of these people did. It is very graphic and well written as to what happened.

This is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by Paulette Mahurin and I will be reading more of her work. I enjoyed her writing style and how real she portrayed the characters.
Myra is looking for a room to rent while attending classes at UCLA when she meets Helen, an elderly lady with a room for rent that fits in her budget. Her first impression of Helen is that she is strange, then after seeing the numbers tattooed on her arm she realizes this lady has a story to tell. Helen feels a connection to Myra and tells her story. It is a tragic story of life during WWII for a young Jewish girl in Germany. No details are left out as Helen reveals her realization of the evil in the world. The writer does an excellent job of detailing the rise of Hitler’s power and the reluctance for most to fathom how evil and dangerous he would be. Although Helen suffers tremendous loss and physical pain during the war years she remained strong though forever wounded. The story is well written and draws you into Helen’s world. Many emotions are woven into the story, beautifully and tastefully done. It is a stark reminder of the cruelty that once existed.

5.0 out of 5 starsA walk of courage

ByKay gorackeon October 19, 2016

I read this book all in one night. Some of this horror that was inflicted on this brave woman and her family was hard to read. I thought the book was well written and depicted a horrible time in human history of how hate and prejudice can wipe at a whole race. We all should read a book like this to remind us of how much we need to hold on to our freedom and fight evil attitudes toward race. Her parents taught her well about love and kindness and survival. Would I have been so strong and brave I wonder!

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother Perspective!

I couldn’t put this book down. It was such a insight on what harm gossip and the hate of what one person could do to another. So very sad. But there is much good in people in the end.
