Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone by Phaedra Patrick

5.0

This is a lovely tale about Benedict Stone, a somewhat overweight, underwhelmed jeweler from a family of jewelers. Benedict's life is somewhat uprooted when his estranged brother's daughter, Gemma, shows up on his doorstep.
Both Benedict and Gemma have secrets... but together they help each other past their dark places.
Little passages about various gems are sprinkled through the book - delightful!
