Jewels of the Heart

The turbulent shores of the Great Lakes...and five courageous, beautiful women. They are young enough to love, strong enough to survive, and brave enough to dream!

OCTAVIA -- Stranded in the wilds of Canada, far from the glittering drawing rooms of her native London, the fiery-haired beauty loses her heart to the Seneca warrior who saves her life...

SILVER GRASS -- Octavia's lovely daughter traces and finds her Chippewa roots and follows her destiny... until a most unlikely lover sweeps her into his arms...

ELMA -- The orphaned daughter of Silver Grass, she is a loyal Unionist during the Civil War, but dares to love a man who wears Confederate gray...

MARTA -- Dismayed by her staid life, Elma's younger sister strikes out on her own as cook in a mining camp... only to meet a sophisticated Easterner and enter a world she had never dared to dream of. . .

HENRIETTA -- Wearing the jeweled gold locket handed dozen from her great-great-grandmother Octavia, she finds the courage to follow her dream and defy the man who was once her childhood sweetheart and is now her bitter enemy.
