So much has changed, Caralynn thought, yet nothing has changed since these islands were formed. Brimstone from across the sea brought the waters that devastated a culture beyond restoration, but the land and sea remain. Everything has a story, but only a few of them are told. Orphaned as a toddler, Caralynn Davidson grieves the loss of her grandfather as she takes over the reins of the family estate near a small Swiss village, but the Brimstone and Water from millennia ago that destroyed a civilization is about to change Caralynn's life.

Hoping that one day she will rejoin her family, Mynah tells her daughter and her daughter's daughters that they must satisfy her ultimate desire. For generations, Mynah has visited her daughters, and now Caralynn knows the time has come to visit Mynah. She learns in this compelling story about love and a soul crying out to be free that even Brimstone and Water cannot keep a family apart.… (altro)

A story that weaves the present with the past and the legacy that follows. Filled with grief, faith,courage,sacrifice,healing,ancestry,legacy,family,a soul looking for freedom and love."Brimstone and Water" is not your ordinary inspirational story,but a story with an epic tale, a bit of paranormal mixed in and the tale of a young Crete Princess, Mynah and her ancestors. Fast paced and filled with danger and longing. On the island of Thera,Mount Thera, a volcanic eruption of catastrophic proportion and the earthquake that followed,leaves only a few survivors in its wake.....so the story begins. Caralynn Davidson, is orphaned at a young age, grieving her beloved grandfather, receives a letter from her grandfather that will change everything. For she is charged with bringing an ancient ancestor's soul to rest,Mynah,the Princess of Crete. A compelling story of hope,and love. "Brimstone and Water" will have you setting on the edge of your seat as you read the story of Mynah and the generation of daughters,their legacy and the power of love.
