Finding Gems Dan Kubishta

"This piece of jewelry was once carried by a soldier through trenches deep." Max and Paige looked at the ornate piece. The gems shone. "Have you heard the story?"

Finding Gems follows Max and Paige, young people attempting to find their place in the world. Their lives become caught up in a web of complicated antics as a family heirloom unlocks certain answers but at the same time leads to more questions. Along the way, we meet an army of characters, some more driven than others. There is Ned. There is Mr. Timothy Green and the Captain. Kat. Colette. Rose. Aldous. Marco. Tin. James. All of them play a role in the sweeping epic that happens over the course of a week - told in flashbacks and narrative form, the book takes the reader on an expansive journey through time, the human psyche, and contemporary life - this is Finding Gems. Includes illustrations by the author.
