 ><em>&ldquo\;We Were the Lucky Ones is the most gripping novel I&rsquo\;ve

 ;">Georgia Hunter was 15 years old when she learned about her family's his
 tory as Holocaust survivors. <em>We Were the Lucky Ones</em>&nbsp\;was bor
 ne out of her desire to learn about her family's extraordinary experience 
 of survival and perseverance.</span></p>\n<p><span style="color: #000000\;
 ">She writes\, "In 2000\, a family reunion opened my eyes to the astoundin
 g war stories of my grandfather and his family. Eight years later\, armed 
 with a digital voice recorder and a moleskin notebook\, I set off to unear
 th and record my family's story. I spent nearly a decade traversing the gl
 obe\, interviewing family\, and digging up records from every possible sou
 rce I could think of\, eventually piecing together the bones of what would
  become my novel\, <em>We Were the Lucky Ones</em>.&rdquo\;</span></p>\n<p
