As the author of a Holocaust novel ("Jacob's Courage: A Holocaust Love Story"), I appreciate books that offer a frank, emotional examination of morality.
One of the most compelling stories I've ever read is the subject of this week's Book Review. The Courtship of Julian and Frieda: A True Story, is written by Krista Perry Dunn. This is a powerful memoir of a young couple in love, parted by socioeconomic class, country of origin, war, concentration camps, the Gestapo - the Holocaust. The most amazing part? It is REAL.
We're so pleased to share an extraordinary find with you this week! Our Wine Editor, Wink Lorch, is also the publisher of Wine Travel Guides. Wine Travel Guides are extraordinary, downloadable travel guides to wine regions in Europe. I've not seen anything like it, and can't wait to get the chance to use them myself when we head to Europe.
