A Gemstone Book (Hardcover) - 349 pages To escape a life of abuse, fifteen-year-old Evan Adamson sacrifices the love of his childhood sweetheart only to find himself caught up in the ill-begotten adventures of three Gypsy outcasts who ultimately teach him the ways of the heart and the soul, and most importantly that, "...there will always be that in this world which goes beyond understanding and speaks to the heart in a more meaningful way." When Evan finds himself torn between the dark girl of his dreams and a promise he made to his mother years before, he sees in a single moment the reflection of his own true nature and the capacity for a love that transcends all else. By the very enigma of riddles, he comes to discover himself. And those discoveries are heartbreaking and wise, as complex as they are devastating--for in heaven and in our dreams, love is simple and glorious, but it is something quite different in the world of flesh.
