Kaleb James is only twelve-years-old, so why must he be the one chosen to break a family curse? And will he be able to find the hidden jewel that stops a portal of evil from taking over the Northwest? The Jewel of Hope is a captivating story for young readers with a powerful and resonant message about the value of Christianity in their lives. Five children in the same family have already died at the age of eight.
The cause is a  curse that has been passed down through generations. Sparked by their grandfather's hatred of a Wavatee Nation Chief who married his daughter, the oath ensures their children will die, and their spirits will roam Fountain Grove, Arizona, until statues are erected to imprison them. Kaleb and his cousin Kate band together to find the hidden jewel to break the curse. To do so, Kaleb and Kate must overcome horrendous obstacles.
In this story of hope that celebrates the glory of God, an inventive, inspiring tale will leave a lasting, positive impression on any young mind.
