As Rose Bach's saga continued in Book 2, I imagined she would wilt under continuing pressures. Yet, the author evolved Rose into a 'universal person' challenging life's difficulties. Even through her weaknesses and failings, she remained a classical female warrior. I thank Mr. Zidbeck for revealing such a vital person; he balanced well the use of dialog within the documentary format. -S. Richard Snodey, PE, LLB, PhD.; International Business Counselor Lady Gemini, Book 2 is the equal of Book 1. The main character, Rose Bach, is developed with such meticulous detail that you'll feel she's actually living on the book's pages right before your eyes. Her shadows and her trials lingered in my mind, haunted me is more precise, long after I closed the back cover of the book. The reader is in for a read that's intense, moving, and thought provoking. -Phillip Stein, Chief of Operations, Ret., L.A. County Probation Dept. I really got into the character, Rose. Her travails kept me reading 'one more page.' Part two of her story offers the compelling tale of a courageous, young Panamanian woman cast adrift in rural, Southern California during the mid Twentieth Century. -Carlos Ledson Miller, Author of Panama; Belize; and Stroke Rose Bach's journey-down the many byways introduced in Book 1-revealed her search for her destiny against impossible odds. After reading the first half of her story, I wondered, as a recovering alcoholic, whether she would at least break even. Book 2 allowed me to witness her final struggles before she settled on the final hand. -Ron P.
