Her Mother's Hope

I started a new book this week. My mom actually just finished it. So far it is really good. It takes place in Germany and there are a lot of German words that they use and i dont know what they are talking about sometimes. But it starts out with a girl named Marta being beaten by her father. Its really sad. I keep wondering why her family doesnt just leave him. But, her mother says that she still loves him. Thats kind of dumb to do but i still like the mom in this story. She is really sweet and is there for her kids. Im happy that Marta finally left there but i have a feeling that she is gonna go back for some reason.
