Review: Riveting and compelling story!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 22, 2013
This novel sucks you in with its very first page and doesn't let you go until the last.  There is no segue into the action - it hits you in the face and keeps you on a roller coaster ride throughout the entire book.  The book tells the story of two twins - Jeremiah and Isaiah, whose mother sacrificed her life for theirs during World War II.  In a strange twist of fate, one twin becomes a rabbi and one becomes a priest, and when they find each other decades later, they join together to put together the pieces of what happened to their mother and to them so many years prior.  These characters are very well-developed, and the story is compelling.  There are a lot of interesting plot twists, and the ending is unexpected.  This is a book that goes beyond the story contained within the pages and tells a story of larger issues in the world around us.  It's a great read!
