Our latest book Sonia's Song was first written in German, then in French, and now you can read this breathtaking memoir in English! FREE on Amazon until midnight Sunday!
At the age of eight, little Sonia Korn is declared an enemy of the German State. She and her family are given a grim option; either find a way to disappear, or be rounded up and sent to certain death. After a perilous escape to the Belgian border, and becoming caught in the chaos and carnage of war-torn France and Belgium, Sonia finds that she must give up everything she knows and loves just to survive. This is the complex true story of one girl, who rises from war's ashes to sing the songs of hope and love world-wide. A heart-wrenching and poignant memoir, by internationally renowned singer Sonia Korn-Grimani.
Elie Wiesel writes, "Korn-Grimani describes not only suffering she had to endure, but how she succeeded in overcoming it...I am sure that Sonia's Song will touch the hearts of many readers."

Book Giveaway: The Legend of Pradeep Mathew by Shehan Karunatilaka
On the surface, this award-winning novel seems to be about cricket, something we don't know much about in this country. Underneath it's about so much more. A UK reviewer wrote: “It's funny and original, extremely revealing about Sri Lanka, and as for the cricket, in the author's own words: 'If you can't understand why anyone would watch, let alone obsess over this dull game, then this is the book for you.’" Enter to win at http://popcornreads.com/?p=4148.

Budapest Noir: Could You Stand by and Do Nothing?
This chilling thriller by Vilmos Kondor takes places during the early days of WWII Hungary. It certainly kept me up reading late into the night. Read my review at http://popcornreads.com/?=2720.
