The Blood Years by Elana K. Arnold is based on the author's grandmother who lived through a lot of experiences. Some very painful. There is a few scenes in which the youngest sister is used by an older man who provides food for their family. Being Jewish, put the family in the path of bullies from the Russians, Germans and even fellow non-Jewish neighbors. It's a story about survival, family and sisterhood. A good one to add to any high school library.
