Historical
Alaina is a Jewish orphan in Germany during the Holocaust. She lost her family to the Nazis. Read about her struggles through this treacherous time. (This is a short story I wrote for my English class. That's why it's so short, but I put a lot of effort into it so I thought I'd publish it. I'd love some feedback about it too!) Update: 2/22/18 Ahh, this is so old...I dunno if I can even go back and read it. XD

Katyushka soon got over my near death, but since Natalia was so young, her mind never fully recovered. But even with my sisters, I was still alone. I was always trying to find some way for us to scrape by, which led me to spend most of my waking hours away from home. I had very few friends, and the friendships I had were shaky, at best. Whenever I tried to talk to anyone, they would ignore me or push me out of their ways, thinking I was just another street boy. Before 1936, I was alone. ... Under the Same Stars: Book One
