Between Shades of Gray

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys is the first book I have read amongst the 2013-2014 Gateway Award nominees. It's a tough book to endure, but a necessary one. It explores the horrors of prison camps for Lithuanians wrongly imprisoned for being considered anti-Soviet during WW2. This book sparked my curiosity. Lithuania is one of those countries not discussed often in the history of WW2. This book helps keep this little country's history remembered.
