REVIEWS: And The Sun Will Rise

"The Sun Will Rise is the gripping sequel to the author’s first book about an event that left shadows in people’s hearts for decades: the 1922 burning of Smyrna. Picking up where the first book left off, the author weaves a heartbreaking tale of the terror of war and its impact on the lives of ordinary people… the deep well of courage survival requires. The second book is every bit as compelling as the first… readers will be on the edge of their seats as Celia shows again how challenging it can be to embrace grace under fire…a powerful book by a gifted writer."

- Susan Crossman, author, Shades of Teale

"Bess Georgakakos offers a captivating sequel novel taking us deeper into a time of brutality, rape and oppression. Based on her grandmother's real life experiences during the 1922 burning of Smyrna, the author vividly continues her enthralling tale of Celia overcoming the horrors of war... an absolute must-read…"
