Emerald Rivers

Can a stone be cursed? The ?Karensa Emerald?, a mystical healing stone found by a Cherokee shaman in the mid-1800s traveled west on the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma. In Book One of The Emerald Series Karensa Moorehead inherited it - and its blessing or curse. During her short, often violent life, Karensa had children by two very different men: John Jean Cappen, a missionary doctor on the llanos of Venezuela and handsome, passionate Bart Grant, a sheriff in Arizona. In Books Two through Four the children came of age. Their children are now adults and in 2013 the emerald is about to pass to a new owner. Will they be blessed or cursed? Book Five of The Emerald Series finds three generations of Grants and Cappens facing life and death choices along the Orinoco River in South America, along the banks of the Roaring Fork River in Aspen, Colorado and in Nova Scotia and Labrador. The action filled family saga continues from Venezuela to Canada, adding Sioux, Apache, and Inuit descendants.
