This book adds the title “Page-Turning Storyteller” to Dr. Saadah's well-earned reputation as a poet. His account of the events surrounding the Oklahoma City Bombing brought tears to my eyes. He captured our collective sense of loss, unbelief and irreversible tragedy as we dealt with the chaos of that horrific day.

Dr. Saadah’s novel, The Mighty Weight of Love , is a story to savor. His relationship with words reveals an artist at work, and his heart for romance is a tribute to love.

When I finished reading The Mighty Weight of Love , I knew I had witnessed human Love at its best. The words, I love you, are so easy to say, but not often enough does the behavior "flesh" out the words. Salem Hawi loved as purely as a human being could -- his wife, his children, his friends, and his patients. He was a man with no guile -- his purity of heart will challenge any reader to "go and do likewise".

Reading Dr. Saadah's novel, The Mighty Weight of Love , was a highly emotional and enjoyable experience. His unique insight into the resiliency, generosity, and spiritedness of Oklahomans in the aftermath of the Oklahama City bombing reflects the magnitude of his love and reverence for his adopted home.
