The Twice-Sold Soul by Katie  Hallahan
"In the hunt for my personal perfect genre, I requested this book since it seemed pretty close to it. It did take me a while to start it, and once I did, I was a little hesitant about whether or not this was actually the first book in the series. It is, and in fact, the first book ever by this author I think, so I kept reading. Once I got over the feeling that I was missing a book, this book became so very good. I was captivated and couldn’t stop reading. I’m really hoping this will be a series because I want to see what comes next for all these interesting characters. Give it a try; it’s well worth it. Highly recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed."

� The unborn� are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who ...more � � Dave Barnhart
