I just finished reading "Defiance" by Janet Abramson. It was wonderful and I read it in one night. It was a page turner, and I wanted to leave a positive review on your website, as you are the publisher. Is this possible? Thank you.

"Defiance" draws you into Janet's world. You feel what she feels, including her passion for life. Janet's story inspires me to advocate for those less fortunate, the vulnerable, those without a voice. She had the courage to speak up when others wouldn't. Janet's life has been filled with adventures, in America and abroad. It was great fun to read "Defiance", after she shared many of the stories at our Saturday lunches, surrounded by a captive audience of myself and many good friends. "Defiance" is well written, and you won't want to put it down!
