REVIEWS:
                 THE NINTH CANDLE
                                        defying the darkness

No other country in Europe suffered from German depredation during the Second World War as Poland did. And no other population was as traumatised and brutalised as the Poles, both Jews and Gentiles.
This is the story of the three Bender siblings. Each of them made a decision based on love: Marysia for her son, Piotr, Josef for his fiancée and Adam, the paediatrician, for love of the children in his care.
Only one would survive.
This is a story of immense bravery and sacrifice, of love and loss, of humanity at its worst and its best. A story that is a dedication to those who love deeply enough to pay the ultimate price.
Available now at www.amazon.com as a paperback or Kindle or from the author through this website.
Reviews:
Peter - a difficult, troubling yet engaging read.
Linda - Just a few words to say how much I enjoyed your book. I commend Jenny for creating a most readable and engrossing biography. Love certainly was the motivating theme throughout.
Barry - Just finished your book. I couldn't put it down. It is history and is a story that had to be told.

Hello, I'm Jenny. I live in New Zealand with my husband, Howard, and a teen-aged cat called Anzac - you know the sort, sleeps in 'til midday and parties all night. I love reading, playing classical guitar, cats and the colour turquoise. I hate the PC Nazis (which you'll notice in my more humorous books). I am a member of the Te Aroha Writing Group that meets fortnightly to share and critique, knock each other around when we get it wrong and slap each other on the back when we get it right.

If you don't like using Amazon feel free to buy directly from me. Just email me from this website (go to the Contact page). All books are $25.00 (NZ dollar) plus postage. I tend to send out books the same day I receive an order. (I'm funny that way.)



  • In the end, I am left speechless...
  • I'm awed, humbled, inspired, chastened.
  • Jenny shows that speaking of the unspeakable is an essential first step in healing of deep emotional wounds.
  • ...well done on a powerful and impeccably researched piece of work!
  • The book, to say the least, is so interesting I could not put it down.
  • Jenny Harrison, your 'Out of Poland' is an amazing read and so well crafted by an expert. Thank you.
The Siegel family of New Zealand knew nothing of their relatives until we opened the suitcase that had been hidden under the house for forty years.  We discovered the story of a family who lived in a small Polish town and whose lives were snuffed out when Hitler and his German Army rampaged through Poland in 1939. 
This book returned their family to them and gave them a history.

This book will give you a  clear idea of the war in Poland, the suffering of both Jews and Gentiles and the heroism of those who saved the Jews from extinction.
