The Choice: Embrace the Possible

A New York Times Bestseller, "The Choice" is a powerful reminder of what courage looks like in the darkest times and that we all have the ability to pay attention to what we have lost or what we still have. The life of Dr. Edith Eva Eger reveals our potential to overcome even the greatest horrors and to use that suffering for the good of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can achieve that as well.

At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival. Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses when American troops liberated the camp in 1945. For decades, she struggled with flashbacks and survivor's guilt, determined to remain silent and hide from the past. Thirty-five years after the war ended, she returned to Auschwitz and was finally able to heal completely and forgive the one person she could not forgive – herself.

Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped to heal. She explores how we can become trapped in our own thoughts and shows us how to find the key to freedom. "The Choice" is a life-changing book that will bring hope and comfort to generations of readers.
