Laila Ibrahim recommends
The River Widow (2018)
Ann Howard Creel
"The River Widow by Ann Howard Creel shows a mother’s fierce love for a child of her heart."
The Ragged Edge of Night (2018)
Olivia Hawker
"Set in Nazi Germany, The Ragged Edge of the Night is a powerful story of a priest turned husband turned resistance leader. Hateful forces had grown so powerful that they destroyed a nation and were marching on to threaten the world. In the face of such power it would be easy to grow complacent and hopeless, but this story of a simple man making the difficult choice to fight for his deepest values reminds us of the best of humanity."
