Although based on a true historical event, the 1922 Burning of Smyrna-and containing details from the author's own family history-a liberal use of imagination has forwarded the creation of this book. A great deal of research has gone into the writing of this book and most of the history is as accurate as the author could make it.

Produktbeschreibung
Although based on a true historical event, the 1922 Burning of Smyrna-and containing details from the author's own family history-a liberal use of imagination has forwarded the creation of this book. A great deal of research has gone into the writing of this book and most of the history is as accurate as the author could make it. But many of the names, characters, events, and incidents in this book are either the product of the author's imagination or based on real people, but fictionalized. It is not the author's intention to demonize any individuals or nations with this work but to demonstrate the hideous results of the failure of diplomacy and the heartbreaking impact of greed, anger, and cruelty ... and to demonstrate that despite generations of knowing the ravages of war, people are still capable of inflicting unspeakable horrors on their fellow human beings. Yet, growing out of the misery of conflict, can bloom the grace of hope and the flower of perseverance. Please note that some passages in this book may trigger feelings of anxiety in those who have experienced trauma in their lives. "The Sun Will Rise is the gripping sequel to the author's first book about an event that left shadows in people's hearts for decades: the 1922 burning of Smyrna. Picking up where the first book left off, the author weaves a heartbreaking tale of the terror of war and its impact on the lives of ordinary people... the deep well of courage survival requires. The second book is every bit as compelling as the first... readers will be on the edge of their seats as Celia shows again how challenging it can be to embrace grace under fire...a powerful book by a gifted writer." - Susan Crossman, author, Shades of Teale "Bess Georgakakos offers a captivating sequel novel taking us deeper into a time of brutality, rape, oppression. Based on her grandmother's real life experiences during the 1922 burning of Smyrna, the author vividly continues her enthralling tale of Celia overcoming the horrors of war... an absolute must-read..." - Michael B. Davie, author, The Late Man
