6:24 pm •
Anyone with a strong opinion about whether the cross on Mount Soledad should be left up or taken down might want to read Joan Brady’s latest novel, “The Ghost of Mount Soledad.” The main character, Margaret Duran, has been assigned to write about the controversy for a local magazine. On an evening when she drives to the monument for inspiration, a soldier in one of the photographs at its base materializes and tells her what he thinks. He even speculates on what God might say about the dispute.
