About this listen

 Can a simple pair of garnet earrings put out an internal fire that has been burning for some fifteen years? A young woman stands at the brink of middle age with a long-standing anger towards her mother that has stalled and clouded her dreams of the future. When the garnet earrings suddenly appear, they receive such an emotional reception that questions are finally posed that unlock secrets of the past. The woman learns the fire inside her started two generations ago with her grandmother and the question remains: After all this time, is it possible to contain the flames?

This book takes you on a journey back to the small village of Ochenbruck, Germany in 1928 and spans a period of some fifty years while it follows the lives of these women from one family that struggle to free themselves from destructive patterns that continue to resurface from one generation to the next. Their story is a true test of the human spirit. One woman, unable to get past what the birth of her illegitimate child has done to her hopes for the future, remains in her homeland that is devastated by war. Another chooses to leave behind her war-torn country and the ridicule her mother inflicts on her, a constant reminder of her unworthy existence. She takes a chance at a new life and a new start in America, a country that promises the offering of both dreams. Each carry with them, a fire within that drives their pursuits in life. As the third generation emerges, the internal fire had spread. Will the fire help or hinder her?

The Garnet Earrings is a vibrant summoning of an emotionally daring story that follows the internal resolutions of three women as each individual spirit is transformed by the fire inside. This novel unpacks generational conflict and reveals the resiliency of the human spirit. It is a novel that explores the consequences of individual choices and reminds us that forgiveness can be as simple or as complex as we make it.
