Reviews

“I started the book and couldn’t put it down... a new insight into the meaning of heroism.  It should be valued as a local, regional and national treasure.”

Elizabeth Laden, Island Park Press.

 

"Soul is a biography with a twist... By the end of the reading, history is something not lost to the gray-toned past, but is as present as our next breath, and just as relevant."  Amy Christensen, Idaho State Journal.
