Synopsis
"'...In slow, stuttering speech, carefully measuring each word for a meaningful translation, the young artist said, "Well...according to ancient wisdom...she said the brilliance of the topaz helps he who wears it absorb Gött...God's light. It helps the wearer bring in from the universe, from God, what is needed. It allows he who wears the topaz...to...surrender to the pre-planned destiny that is set up in the beginning.' John felt a jolt of recognition at the young man's words. This gem was meant for his Lydia." So begins the journey of the topaz brooch, passed down mother to daughter, or daughter-in-law, for over three hundred years. The author builds it's history through genealogical research, spinning a tale recalling the religious persecution of the early Quakers in Wales, through their flight to the new world, and their eventual establishment of a home in what is now known as Pennsylvania. Part fact, part fiction, the author allows her main character, Lydia, to give us genuine insight into the 1700s as people sought a new life, free from persecution and poverty, laying the groundwork for a burgeoning nation.
