some people say about Second to None and Mind Trap: Second to None was shocking. It was harrowing. And I cried when I felt the pain of our military men in Korea. I've been so naive about what our history books tried to whitewash as the Korean conflict. It was a brutal war. Barbara's book is a collection of first-person accounts, written by the men who lived through the battles and butchery. It features tales of daring, courage, and self-sacrifice in the face of unrelenting attacks. Their memories should be treasured. Their accounts are so real, the Korean War will forever be etched in my mind. What a tribute. Felicia Mires, writer Mind Trap begins with an impact, which demolishes the fantasy of the character’s harmonious home life. There is a noteworthy element to this book, which becomes evident in the telling of the story. It is the gifted accomplishment of the MIND TRAP, which walks the reader through the main character’s hellish crisis, all the while holding onto a faith in a loving God that carries her to the fascinating and enlightened ending."
