Description

IN ALEXA’S SHOES is a dramatic story of a young girl’s struggle to overcome great odds to survive World War II. In the autumn of 1940, thirteen-year-old Alexa’s happy life is ripped from her, as she, her mother, and many of the locals are rounded up by the Nazis in Poland. Loaded onto cattle trucks, they are transported to an unknown destination. Terror and uncertainty become the new normal. Life is a continuous nightmare. Selected by an SS officer’s wife, Alex is destined to become little more than their house slave. Separated from everyone she loves, Alexa relies on her Christian faith, inner strength and courage to endure her long nightmare. Her story takes her on a treacherous journey across war-ravished Europe, searching for her family and the life she once knew. Despite living through hardships and life-threatening danger, Alexa feels that someone or something, is looking out for her. Years later, she discovers that not all is as it seemed, as hidden secrets from this dark historical period are revealed. In Alexa Shoes is a historical novel that beckons the reader to follow in the footsteps of a real-life individual who walks by faith to triumph over tragedy one step at a time. It is based on the true story of the author’s grandmother – one of faith, hope, love, forgiveness, and the incredible resilience of the human spirit under severe trials, This is the re-edited version of the award-winning, international bestselling debut novel by Rochelle Alexandra, first published in June 2019.

Powerful and Profound
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Mariel
I am an avid reader and fly through books rather quickly, but every now and then I will read a book that gives me pause. “In Alexa’s Shoes” was one of them. This novel is the powerful true story of the author’s grandmother, Alexa, a young Polish Christian girl who was captured by the Nazis and enslaved for five years in Bitburg, Germany as the unpaid housekeeper of an SS officer. From start to finish, Alexa’s story is profoundly moving and unexpected. This is not your typical WWII novel and features topics I was not previously aware of, such as the kidnapping and enslavement of “undesirable” non-Jewish children from all over Europe by the Nazis. If you love stories of human fortitude, overcoming hardship against all odds, faith, and forgiveness, you will love “In Alexa’s Shoes”. I can’t recommend it enough. So happy I picked this one up! ... show more

Must read
Format: Paperback
Wow! This book was beyond amazing. The story being told is just almost unbelievable. It is a very moving story, but one that needed to be told and one that should continue to be told. I would highly recommend this book. I'm so thankful that Rochelle was able to capture a part of history and make it available to the world. Thank you Rochelle for sharing this story. It kept me awake and had me up into the early hours because I just couldn't put the book down. ... show more

A story worth telling
Format: Paperback
Alexa's story is definitely worth telling. I am amazed at Alexa's resilience and faith but sometimes not convinced of her forgiveness throughout under the various circumstances. I am sure this is part of seeing the past through her granddaughter's eyes. I had to read this because my mother was also taken by the Germans from her home in Poland to work in the German factories. My mother did not talk about it at least to me. She certainly wanted to forget. The prose is not polished as well as it could have been. It is difficult to tell fact from embellishment. It is written as a novel or so the description says. For these reasons I gave it 4 stars. ... show more

This book is amazing. I should advise a box of kleenex to go along with it. It's very accurate and intense

Loved it!
Format: Kindle
It is an amazing book! The way it is written is great. There were some times where I was so engulfed in the story that I started crying. I'm that kind of reader. Some part were hard to follow but I blame the many interruptions as I read. I seriously recommend this book for readers of 12 and up.❤👍

Good story in spite of some writing issues
Format: Kindle
This was a good story that could have been a great story with better writing and editing. The style of largely telling instead of showing inhibited me from getting truly emotionally invested in the story as much as I could have. There were also many errors as mentioned by other reviewers which were distracting. Overall, I would recommend this book in spite of its shortcomings. It is a beautiful story of strong faith, overcoming adversity with a positive attitude, and forgiveness toward those who harm us. ... show more

Truly Inspiring!
Format: Paperback
Being of Polish decent, this true story touched me in many ways! Thought provoking yet so touching on the magnitude of how war affects people in many different ways! I loved how Alexa kept her faith as a support for her thinking and feelings! America only has seen and heard war from a distance. This story brings it to the forefront! Let us honor our service men and women who need extra support upon their return to us after witnessing these types of experiences. Thank you Rochelle Alexandra for sharing your Grandmother’s story! ... show more
