When Nel Stewart returns home due
to the sudden death of her mother, she realizes her beloved
father, Jakob, is struggling with dementia.
With the reappearance of a high-school sweetheart,
deliveries from Ukraine addressed to her, and the discovery
of a mysterious, vintage aquamarine gemstone, Nel senses God
is pulling her into the past to restore their faith and
their futures. Told partially through Jakob's flashbacks of
fleeing genocide-ridden eastern Europe at the turn of the
twentieth century, the novel combines elements of mystery,
history, faith and romance to reveal how God redeems the
broken years ... and our future.
