My Thoughts on Treasured Keepsakes

Treasured Keepsakes is a unique addition to the Sumalie Island series. This one is about a married couple and some issues they face.  

This is a great author.  I love her books.  They move quickly.  The characters are wonderful and really draw you in.  I always feel like I’m in the middle of the action and part of the book.  

In this book, we have Leah who needs some time away.  She goes to stay with her cousin on the island.  While there she sees the opportunity to have a business.  When her husband follows can they work together and overcome all the obstacles in their way?  Or will they split for good?

This is the 11th book of the series.  You do not have to read the books before this one to know what’s going on.  However, if you have read the rest you’re going to be revisiting old friends!

More from Rachel

Have you ever lost something you treasured?

A few years ago, I had an unexpected surgery and had to take off my wedding rings before the procedure. Everything went fine, but after I came home, my fingers were swollen, so I could not put my rings back on right away. I put them away for safekeeping, but several weeks later, when I started feeling better, I went looking for my rings and couldn’t find them. I panicked at first. Could I have forgotten them in the hospital and just thought I brought them home? All kinds of scenarios ran through my head.

Have you ever done this?

Put something treasured away for “safe keeping” and then forget where the safe place was. I have to admit, I do this a lot.

To make a long story short, after some searching, I finally found my rings in a jewellery box at the bottom of my sock drawer. I was so relieved. While my rings are a material possession, the meaning behind them is what was most troubling when I thought they were lost. They symbolize the special relationship between my husband and our promise to each other. My engagement ring is also a family heirloom from my husband’s side of the family, so it really was a treasured keepsake for me.

In my new book, Treasured Keepsakes, Jayson Kamuela doesn’t realize what he’s lost until it’s almost too late. He has been too busy climbing the corporate ladder to reach his dream job to realize his marriage has slipped through the cracks.

Leah still loves her husband, but through the years, they have become more like strangers. When she comes to her breaking point and realizes Jayson has no intention of changing, she feels trapped. Leah escapes to the only refuge she can think of— her cousin’s home on Suamalie. Will this couple be able to recover the treasure of their marriage before it is lost forever?
