Ignatius A. Kaigama, Archbishop of Jos, Nigeria."SOMEDAY is an important novella that highlights the largely unsung heroism of persecuted Christians, and should make those of us in 'safe' countries consider: are we ready to count the cost?"Regina Doman, author of THE FAIRYTALE NOVELS and THE ANGEL IN THE WATERS"The kidnapping of the Nigerian girls should never be written off merely as an unpleasant historical event, about which we can no longer do anything and I am grateful to Corinna Turner for keeping alive the memory and reminding us of the shocking reality of the victims' situation. … This book leaves you wanting to know more, wanting the girls to be rescued, wanting a happy ending. Alas, real life is different." The Honourable Ann Widdecombe, DSG
