What if Anne Frank had survived? What if she never died in a concentration camp and instead was reunited with her father and had to pick up the pieces left of her life? Having to deal with a life without her mother and sister. Her life as a writer seems like a pointless dream and her diary lost forever. How can she see forward when so much in her life is bleak and she has lost so much?

In BOOK, David R Gillham imagines what Anne's life would have been. How she has to deal with survivors guilt as well as teenage angst. Her anger towards everyone around her and the sense of having lost everything worth living for. It's a strong book and I especially liked how the author dealt with Anne's survivor's guilt and trying to be a normal teenager. She lives with the guilt that manifests in her seeing and talking with her sister. Her relationship with her father is strained, especially since he doesn't want to look back, just move forward. And she can't. She can't let go of the past.
 I have never read Anne Frank's Diary, but of course, I know her life story. So, it's interesting imagining a world where she lived. Would she have made such an impact if she had lived? It's a memorable book that I warmly recommend fans of historical fiction to read.
