Which is our focus today…
A brief summary…
In Gift of Diamonds, we are swept along with seventeen-year-old Mica as she is forced to flee Romania after the imprisonment of her parents by the Secret Police for inciting a demonstration against the dictatorial regime. Escaping with her father’s rare and possibly cursed diamonds, Mica travels in the middle of the night on bike to the Hungarian border. In her need to survive, she voyages along the often-treacherous road of self-discovery with her three lifelong friends, for they are the Four Musketeers. Books two and three, Love Odyssey, a historical romance, and Treasure Seekers, an international thriller, follow Mica’s fellow Musketeers as they take the main stage in their riveting stories of escape, terror, love, resistance, and survival. Their own journeys of self-discovery link the stand-alone books together in the trilogy.
Roberta Seret lives in New York City with her husband and their two sons.
