From New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux, a suspensful romance about a woman who uncovers a powerful treasure—and to protect it, she’ll need the help of the man she can’t have…but can’t help falling for. What if your most closely guarded wishes suddenly began to come true? Graduate student Gemma Ranford wants the job cataloging the documents of one of Edilean’s oldest families so much that she is ready to do battle to get it. Desperate to finish her dissertation, she’s sure that investigating the Frazier family history will yield new information to invigorate her research. But she is surprised to find among the papers references to the legend of the Heartwishes Stone, a magical talisman said to grant wishes to anyone named Frazier. And as she spends more time with the family in their small Virginia town, she realizes that the most secret wishes of each of the Fraziers are coming true—and that she’s falling hopelessly in love with Colin, the Fraziers’ eldest son. But now that the Stone’s powers have been awakened, so have the designs of an international thief. Gemma and Colin must find the Stone before it can be used against the family but not before each of their deepest desires is fulfilled. . . .

Pages : 139

Book Description
Expressed through poetry, essays, and short stories, Voices from a Black Heart Speak examines deep-seated beliefs, perspectives, and emotional feelings derived from the cultural development of black people in the United States. We live in a world where television tells us what to want, how we want to live, and what we want to do. We live in a world where fear of the unknown is to be feared and that's considered normal. It may be considered normal and acceptable, but it's totally irrational as our entire lives and world is based on the unknown. We slide through life on a hope and wish that our lives work out as we planned them. If we look at the major earthquake in the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004 that created a Tsunami or Great Wave that killed over 100,000 people and destroyed towns, cities and property in the billions in Asia, we can realize the truth of the fact is that we live our lives in the unknown from moment to moment. The one thing that sustains us is our faith as we journey through life.

But Vera and Tony are in for a surprise when they find her mother and his uncle living together. Aren’t they moving too fast? Tony and Vera share something besides relatives in a blossoming romance: a tradition that when they see the Christmas tree in the gazebo on the village green—a scene right out of a Norman Rockwell painting—they should make a Christmas wish.
