"Amora"
by Grant Hallstrom
Says reviewer Wayne S. Walker, "This historical novel is based on the true story of the noblewoman who inspired Justin Martyr's petition to the Roman Senate. The basic theme is forgiveness versus vengeance, set in a sweeping action-adventure tale of sacrifice that examines spirituality and faith, and explores the path to healing as the characters struggle with their pains of loss, betrayal, and guilt."

The book, according to Piaras, an Amazon Distinguished Vine Voice Reviewer, is a "superbly written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn characters and settings....Skillfully constructed, this well-researched story will have you turning the pages from beginning to end."
