A Mighty Girl's 2020 Books of the Year

As a child, little Audrey enjoys ice skating and dancing near her home in Holland. Then World War II breaks out, and her life changes dramatically: under occupation by the Nazis, food is so scarce that she and her family eat "green-pea bread, dog cookies, and tulip bulbs." Despite hardship, Audrey doesn't lose hope, and instead imagines a possible future: one in which she is an actor beloved by the world, the mother of children she adores, and a humanitarian helping millions of people. Written by Audrey Hepburn's son and daughter-in-law Sean and Karin Hepburn Ferrer — who are donating all their author proceeds to EURORDIS, the Voice of Rare Disease Patients in Europe — this is a whimsical and dreamy look at Hepburn's childhood and how it shaped her future.
