But Vita is in the
market for storage, not for love. Hard experience has taught
her that the best way to avoid life’s pain is to put up walls
and keep herself protected. A travel writer who stays home and avoids
adventure of any kind, Vita thinks she is safe, sitting at her
computer and experiencing life vicariously.
Then lightning
strikes. A storm hits, and Vita’s dependable computer begins
to link her to a virtual reality that threatens her
carefully-constructed emotional fortress. That
beautiful-but-practical painted-tin box takes on a mysterious
life of its own. And Vita Kirk’s safe, predictable life begins
to change.
First annoyed,
then intrigued, then mesmerized, Vita watches a series of
interrelated tales unfold onscreen–tales both totally foreign
and eerily familiar to her. And the more involved Vita becomes
in the story she’s watching, the more inexplicable changes
crop up in her own life.
What’s happening
to Vita Kirk? Is she losing her mind . . . or finding her
heart for the first time?
The answers she
discovers are as wondrous and mysterious as life itself.
Lyrical, original, and surprising, The Treasure Box is
the kind of story that teases the mind and touches the heart,
using the vehicle of fantasy to examine important realities
about transformation, grace, and the power of love.
