Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura HillenbrandMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
"Survival, Resilience and Redemption" read the book's subtitle. The most amazing thing about this book is that it's a true story! Louis Zamperini, now age 93, was a delinquent youth, then trained for and ran in the 1936 Olympics, survived 49 days at sea after being shot down over the Pacific in WW II and then three years in a prison camp in Japan. It was hard to imagine how things could ever get worse for this man, as I turned page after page, yet he survived it all to become an inspirational speaker and impassioned role model for troubled youth. It is only a matter of time before this is made into a movie. Hmmm, which actor will play him? He'll have enormous shoes to fill! – Sra. Moss, Harker teacher
