A Chance to See Egypt

T randomly bought this book this summer and was so surprised at how it touched me -- the colorful descriptions of life in Mexico not only made me think of the country and its people in a new and much more accepting light, but also made me feel as if I knew the characters personally. The intelligent weaving of events and characters also intrigued me until the very last page. And last but not least I felt a deep connection with the main character that as an avid reader I don't remember feeling before. The way he acted and reacted towards events provided much appreciated insight. Thanks for a great book!

A Solid Read from Scofield

Having heard Ms. Scofield read her latest work Plain Speaking at my college campus and greatly enjoyed it, I picked up this earlier work and have enjoyed it as much as Plain Speaking. Ms. Scofield has an amazing grasp on the human spirit and has written a well-formed book with an inspiring plot.
