Re-Release Week for The Last Words Series!

Shari J. Ryan • May 24, 2022

The books that sparked my devotion for retelling the stories about victims of the Holocaust. We must keep their legacies alive.

"Last Words by Shari Ryan is a gripping, emotional, spell-binding journey of bravery, redemption, and love.Once I picked up this book, I could not put it down, completely captivated by the story. I felt every emotion the characters went through, one minute my heart caught in my throat, the next overwhelmed with the love these characters shared. I urge everyone to read this book. Allow the story to consume you as it consumed me, and remember the lesson that has sadly been forgotten lately... Love is stronger than hate."

--USA Today Bestselling Author T.K. Leigh

"Reading Last Words was like another wake up call of how fortunate we are to be living in this world. Without all those people who fought for their rights to be Jews, I don't think any of us would exist. This book is everything. Maybe because I'm a Jew it had an extra influence on me. This is a story about surviving against all odds, loving against all odds, finding happiness in the middle of hell and maybe, just maybe a little bit of hope. ... The way it was written with the now and then's events made me sit on the edge of my seat waiting for what comes next. You can totally feel the heart and the soul of Shari being brought to us on a silver plate. ... Amelia and Charlie's story will stay with me forever, that's for sure. ... This is by far one of my favorites reads of all times.

--Lin Cohen, From Chika With Love

"I love stories about the Holocaust and this one was the best I've ever read! This is a love story of the truest kind. It goes back and forth from Amelia's point of view to Emma's as we find out Amelia's journey to America. It brought tears to my eyes as I'm Jewish so I could totally relate. I cried throughout the whole thing and I was addicted. I read halfway into the night and finished it today. This is a story you'll definitely need a box of tissues for. One of my all time favorite reads this year!My hat's off to you Shari."
