In The Soldier’s House, Helen Benedict tells the story of an Iraq War veteran who saves the lives of his assassinated Iraqi interpreter’s widow, child, and mother by bringing them to his upstate New York home. This is a compassionate tale that examines whether redemption and forgiveness are even possible in the wake of war. In light of the worldwide controversies over refugees, The Soldier’s House is particularly timely and poignant. Helen will be joined by San Francisco journalist and author Katherine Seligman.
