In this sequel to Gowen's debut novel, UNCUT DIAMONDS, she follows sisters Cindy and Marcie as they reach a crossroads in their lives. Marcie pursues her dream of becoming a published writer while Cindy faces a terrible tragedy. Through faith, loss and the transcending nature of sacrifice, Marcie and Cindy must learn the incredible power that comes to families when they pull together to overcome challenges. Two women, one facing opportunity, the other tragedy. Can their bond endure? "There's a house of diamonds awaiting each of us...we just have to know where to look. This was a heartbreaking read that caught me by surprise." Elliot Grace, South of Charm "The scene that gives the book its title is gorgeous, not just for the scene itself, but for how it applies to the whole story. House of Diamonds is a candid look into the mind of a woman attempting to balance all the parts of her life -- children, husband, faith, needs of her extended family, and her own desire to write." Nicki Elson, Three Daves
