Safe Haven: What do you do when there's nowhere to run?
Samir and Sara have nowhere to run. They've tried to run from the 'Butcher of Baghdad' only to get caught by the authorities in Turkey, turned in by the people they'd paid money to smuggle them across the border into Europe.
Returned to Iraq they arrive in the Kurdish controlled north, to a wild and lawless place where the gun rules and ethnic Christians are tolerated, but not trusted.
Samir and Sara can both trace their ancestry back to the great Babylonian Empire, Iraq was once theirs, but now they're foreigners in their own land and have to live by their wits just to survive.
The dream of a fresh start in a new land may be dead, but when you live by your wits sometimes things can happen, and they've met up with people working for an organization called Operation Mercy who don't just talk about faith, they live it to the extreme with surprising results.
A fast-paced tense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very last page.

"Couldn't put it down" is what I keep getting told.
Yes I wrote the book, and I'm proud of the result. A great 'feel-good' read that's also based on a true story.
The story is simple, two people fleeing war-torn Iraq end up getting caught as illegal immigrants in Turkey where things don't go so well.
Returned to Iraq everything looks dismal until Samir gets a job working for Operation Mercy.
More twists than a corkscrew this will have you on the edge of your seat.

** I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. **
I just couldn't get into this book. It sounded really interesting, but it just wasn't the book for me. I also couldn't understand why there were so many exclamation points. If I was texting someone, I'd understand. But for a book? It just seemed a little excessive, and I didn't understand what all of the excitement was about.

Safe Haven: What do you do when there's nowhere to run? My second read from author Lawrence Hebb. Very different than his first book I read, Phoenix Rising: A Scorpion One Book that was amazing! 185-pages that I read in just a few hours. I'll read more from this author. “I received a free Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
