Dear Jean Watson, I love reading your books, especially Corrie Ten Boom. I think your book is very fascinating and interesting. It also provides children with vivid information of history. The part that captures my attention most is the questions that you asked and the prayers that you wrote. Be sure to write more! I am your biggest fan!
