Review
In her usage of the English language she combines clarity of expression with
prose of poetic grace. Here, indeed, is
an anthem - an anthem, not in the idiom of music, but in the more difficult
medium of words alone. This is the most
beautiful, the most inspiring novel this reviewer has ever read. It is an ethical and philosophical rather than
a religious dedication to freedom and the individual. -- Joan DeArmond, Fact
Forum News, Dallas
Reading this inspired little story is a rewarding and satisfying experience
which no American should deny himself. -- All-American Books, New Rochelle,
NY --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
