The Long Journey of a Promise Gary Cushner

In the beautiful green waters in Charlotte Amalie harbor sits a little island that was the scene of a horrible murder. The actual case was never solved, but for this story the only surviving member of the family was a little girl. Over two hundred years later the great granddaughter, a stressed-out FBI agent looking to regroup her life and decide on her future ends up on St. Thomas. She wears a locket that has its' own powers and brings her back to Charlotte Amalie and the descendent of the murderer of her family. The link between all the ancestry is the locket, which was passed on with a promise. It binds each generation. The locket's power forges the links with each generation. You will travel through time with the families until the final confrontation occurs. The families that helped along the way are interlaced and provide the support and caring, when each individual needed it.
