Hi Jennifer, I received "The Scream From Within" in the mail yesterday. I started reading it in bed. I got to chapter 37 and noticed it was almost 2 AM. I just finished it off this afternoon. WOW!!!!! What a ride you take the reader on. This book is so timely now with events in Lebanon. What haunted me was what you wrote in the dedication. I kept thinking that it was autobiographical and that you had suffered all these things. It made me think again of what Gary Zukov says in "Seat of the Soul." We need to give up the desire for power and control over others, no matter how small it may be. As far as some literary devices, please answer a few questions. Joseph and Mary as parents - the child is a Christ figure. She lived a life of crucifixion. Then, Sarah was married to Abraham - as in the Old Testament story to bring about a child of promise. Are these intentional or coincidental? Fantastic job.

I must say this is one of the most interesting and educatinal stories I've ever read. This novel will make a fantastic movie about a woman's strruggle against a society that lacks doctrine and good beliefs. I also think with all what's going on politically in the USA Ms Jennifer Abbott dugged to the roots and foundation of the government injustice and lies regarding the conflict overseas.

I don't usually read fiction, but this book is one terrific read. Very engrossing, quite insightful, full of suspense and intrique, well-researched, and written in a style that is easy to read. I couldn't put this book down. Jennifer Abbott is one heck of a writer and I would read anything else that she publishes.
