  2. Hats off to you. I'm not sure if I could do a 100 word review if my life depended on it. On top of that, it seems like this is not a light book, not an easy thing to summarize. Good job!

  4. I have mixed feelings about novels about missionaries, I don't think I can handle an entire novel on them, but this one does look good.
