"What I loved about this book is that I related to it so well. I could see myself with my two best friends doing exactly what these women were doing, traveling and being in Jerusalem. Also, the romance, mystery and the spiritual, were a combination I thoroughly enjoyed. I just kept reading and reading. I can't wait for book #2. You've got to read Next Year in Jerusalem, Part I, so you can read Part 2!" —Rosemary DeSarno
