I loved the book, “Saving

Sophie,” by Ronald Balson!

The story line is thrilling as it

describes the race to free

Sophie and stop a terrorist

attack. I learned a lot about

the conflict between Israel

and Palestine in this well

researched novel. Attorney

Catherine Lockhart and Investigator Liam Taggart,

from Balson’s novel, “Once We Were Brothers,”

return to investigate missing money, missing persons

and to save lives. It’s an exciting read by one of my

new favorite authors!

Favorite line: “Racism will never win out. It's flawed

in every sense because love is much stronger than

hate.”
