This heart-wrenching, first-hand account of hiding from the Nazis during World War II shows a young girl’s courage in the face of ultimate death. It is inspiring as well as heartbreaking.

We all know how Anne Frank’s story ended, though that part isn’t documented in the diary. Still, this is a hopeful book, written by a true optimist. For much of my life, I’ve kept a postcard of her tacked over whatever desk I occupied at the time, to remind me of how lucky I am, to be alive, and writing. I often imagine what Anne Frank might have created, given the chance. What’s my excuse not to try my best?
