When she discovers that her dissolute son has
designs to sell the ancestral home out from under her, Miss
Amethyst–now ninety-three years old and sharp as ever--refuses
to let that legacy go without a battle. Although her son has
betrayed her, she still has hope for her great-granddaughter,
Little Am. But the gentle, good-natured child who once cuddled
on her great-grandmother’s lap has mutated in her teenage
years into something else altogether.
How and when, Amethyst wonders, has she lost
her only son? And has she lost her great-granddaughter in the
bargain? Who will be left to inhabit the house where
generations of Nobles have lived and loved? Who will wear the
amethyst heart the women of the family have handed down for
more than a century? Who will pass on the family stories to
new generations?
Amethyst is determined that this long and
faithful history will not end with her. Whatever it takes,
Little Am is going to know that the Noble family heritage is
worth fighting for.
And so she tells the story of Noble House one last time, a
tale of joy and pain, hope and sorrow–and one family’s legacy
of “sincerity, purity, and nobility.” It’s a legacy she can
only pray her great-granddaughter will have the courage to
carry on.
