A company determined to dive for cave pearls in an historically significant cave, however, starts to cause problems. This assignment, though, close to his hometown and his family, makes it hard to keep emotions at bay.Ĭlaire is an historical anthropologist determined to preserve the rich Native American history in her particular corner of the world. He’s survived since his shunning by always keeping his distance. He used his anger and pain to fuel his ambition, joining first the Navy SEALS, then Jinx Inc, helping people find lost treasures across throughout the world. The insight I have, therefore, differs from that of the author of this novel, and played a part in how well I enjoyed it.Ĭaleb left his Amish community as a young man, suffering under the shunning that comes with leaving the religion. We were very lucky to be accepted into their lives, and to have them accept the invitation into ours. As Hill points out, the Amish are not a community open to outsiders. I grew up in an area heavily populated by an Amish community, and one of our closest family friends were an Amish family. The Amish play a large part in this novel their customs, religion, and beliefs all influence the main characters and the happily ever after. Unless you had a similarly unorthodox childhood, I don’t think many others will pick up something that affected my overall impression of Sandra Hill’s Pearl Jinx. In the interest of full disclosure, let me get something out of the way.
