Between Shades of Gray/ Ruta Sepetys/ 344 pages

Ah, yes, the other "Shades of Gray" -- this one is about 800 times better than the one that is getting all the press.  This is the story of Lina and her family.  They were deported to Siberia from Lithuania during WWII by Stalin.  It is heartbreaking to read some of the things these people suffered through.  And then when they were finally release from these prisons/camps they had to remain silent for fear of death.  But, Sepetys has given a voice to these people.  This Shades of Gray should be read by everyone.
