Description
A Diamond in the Rough is Marilyn Lands third and most passionate novel set against the glamorous world of the Diamond Industry. When Jake Lyons finds himself the sole survivor of his family, he emerges from the ashes of destruction a complex and compelling Hero whose tragic loss during the Blitz leads him to join the Royal Air Force to fight for Britain. At Wars end, he returns to England a highly decorated RAF Ace Pilot only to face a series of life shattering decisions, as he tries to pick up the pieces of his young life without the woman he loves more than life itself. Upon his Uncle Benjamins death in South Africa, and as sole heir to his estate, he becomes the recipient of an intricately carved chest containing thousands of cut and polished diamonds, no mention of which was made in his Will. Left with doubts that the cache was perhaps sent to him in error or the spoils of a heist during the War, he sets out to determine to whom it belongs. From London to New York, South Africa to Israel, from his old world of diamonds to his new world of aviation, the twists, turns, and surprises her readers have learned to expect uniquely define the profound personal story of a true Diamond in the Rough.
