Description

Told from dual perspectives, this remarkable true story for YA readers recounts the tale of two individuals—a Ukrainian teen in the early 2010s and a Jewish boy in hiding during WWII—whose lives are entwined through a box of letters.

★ Kirkus Reviews, starred review

When Nataliia, a teenager in Ukraine, uncovers a mysterious box of letters written during the Holocaust, she is drawn into the story of Eliezer, a Jewish boy in hiding during World War II. As Nataliia reads, past and present begin to echo each other in unexpected ways. The letters raise questions her family has never fully answered and point toward a history that feels strangely close to home.

Told through dual perspectives, Honor is a true story of resilience, moral courage, and the quiet choices that shape generations. As the world once again faces conflict, Nataliia’s search for understanding reveals how the past can resurface when we least expect it and why remembering matters.
