Critics Review

Gordon Livingston has been through many kinds of hell and come back with wisdom and kindness that are to be revered. To read him is to trust him and to learn, for his life has been touched by fire, and his motives are absolutely pure. - Mark Helprin, author of ‘A Soldier of the Great War’ and ‘Winter s Tale’
