The Blessing Stone (Wood, Barbara) Book

Millions of years ago, a meteorite fell to earth and a beautiful blue stone shattered from it. One hundred thousand years ago, a girl named Tall One found the crystal on the African plain-and it formed her destiny, as well as the destinies of generations to come. From ancient Israel to Imperial Rome, from medieval England to fifteenth-century Ger-many, from the eighteenth-century Caribbean to the nineteenth-century American West, the destiny of the stone and the his-tory of the world unfolds. Each story is full of the betrayals and obsessions of the human heart, and the quests of the human spirit. In The Blessing Stone, Barbara Wood has told the intimate details of her characters' lives and created a compelling narrative of the epic sweep of human history. Barbara Wood fans will find The Blessing Stone is like nothing they've read before-new readers will discover a writer to treasure.Read More
