Summer Reading: Book 2 Thoughts Part 2

I have finished reading The Hiding Place, and I feel it had a very satisfying ending. During the last half of the book most of the ten Boom family is sent to prison for helping out Jews while the Germans are invading Holland most of the family gets set free except for Corrie and Betsie, and the way that they act in the prison is very admirable. For example Betsie even when the German guards is making fun of her illness she laughs and when the guard then whips her Betsie stops her sister from being angry with the guard and prays for him. It is also really cool to read what the author, Corrie, is thinking while she is in the prison and how she grow to turn to God when she can't do something herself. All the characters in the book had qualities of compassion and forgiveness that I hope to have in my life and overall I though it was a good book.
