Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone
Jeweler Benedict Stone's business is fading and his wife has moved out after years of unresolved pain over their childlessness. His orderly life changes when Gemma, the teenage daughter of the brother he has not spoken to in nearly two decades, arrives unexpectedly from America. Gemma pushes Benedict toward bolder jewelry, renewed courtship, and the family secret that caused the brothers' estrangement. Cozy and uplifting, this novel suits readers who enjoy English villages, gemstones and their meanings, unexpected nieces, troubled marriages, and gentle stories about forgiveness requiring both imaginative gestures and honest accountability.
