Could it be (I know the book is probably a bit over 8th grade in depth but I read it in jr high or highschool) "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. His books tended to have a religious flavor to them. This particular one was about time he spent in a concentration camp himself. Even if it's not the one she recommended I would recommend it as one you might find just as interesting.

truly a classic series that everyone should read. Gives you a feel for the terrible atrocities that Lenin and Stalin committed and the (at least) 60-70 million lives that were lost under their reigns.
