A Story of the Nineteenth Century This was scarcely as bad as she expected, yet quite bad enough. She flushed hotly. “Uncle has not said anything to you, has he?” she asked. “Never once. Kate, Uncle Morris is a brick!” There was a wealth of genuine gratitude flung into the boyish word that redeemed it from all trace of vulgarity. “If Father were alive, what would he say?” questioned Kate. “I think he would be horrified at the very thought.” “Well, I don’t know,” mused Archie, thrusting his hands into his pockets. “After all, the horrible thing is eating the shop — I mean the bread that’s made in it. And since I do that already, and can’t help myself, I think it would not make things any worse to earn it before I eat it.”   The Young Burning Hearts Series is a series of fascinating independent stories for young and old of faithfulness in trying times.

It was hunger that drove 12-year-old Boris and his friend, Nadia, to forage for potatoes in the forbidden No-man’s-land that lay between the Russian and German lines outside the besieged city of Leningrad. But the long walk in the bitter cold, through miles of ice and snow, was too difficult for Nadia. As she lay on the ice, collapsed from exhaustion, Boris was at his wits’ end. When German patrol rescued the children and delivered them safely to the Russian lines, Boris learned that the hated enemy were not monsters — just ordinary men like any others — and that in war, everyone is the victim. Set in Leningrad during the dreadful 500 days in 1942-43 when it lay under siege by the German army, Boris is the story of a courageous boy who faces the bitter life-and-death realities of war and human survival, and, with a growing sense of compassion for all mankind, looks hopefully toward the future when all men can lay down their arms and embrace one another as brothers.
