Review: Good idea, but needs an editor

I really liked the concept, but the book could really use a better editor. There were quite a few errors (typos, misspellings, punctuation problems, etc.) & loads of clichés & things that just didn't work for me.SPOILER ALERT:  The rabbi & his daughter are not on speaking terms, yet she abandons her military post in Germany because she has dreams & visions that her father is in danger, & manages to find him in the remote Polish countryside, just in time to save him?  The priest knows his long-lost twin & his family are orthodox Jews, yet he shows up for dinner in his clerical collar? I think he would be wiser & more sensitive for the first meeting with his new-found extended family. There were too many coincidences & "oddities" for my taste.  If the diocese knew of existence of a twin, why would they keep this information from the priest since his ordination? Why would they go to so much trouble to investigate his adoption?The author did, however give a good sense of time & place.
