"I would rather kill my daughters than have them brought up Adventist " So says Jtun Holt after Edson White thundered down the Mississippi River on his steamboat, Morning Star, on a mission to win Southern blacks to the Seventh-Day Adventist religion. The most unlikely convert south of the Mason-Dixon line is Jtun's wife, Carolina Pearl Holt, the beautiful daughter of Mississippi planters. Jtun is a newspaper writer for the Yazoo Sentinel, a paper that seethes with racist writing. Jtun and Pearl have recently lost their infant daughter, Una Pearl, to a mysterious illness which has now afflicted their new baby. Terrified that she is about to lose baby Ruby, Pearl takes her servant's advice to let the Seventh-Day Adventist doctor from the Morning Star treat her child. The Adventists heal Ruby with a combination of hydrotherapy, diet and prayer, and the young mother embraces the Adventist lifestyle. So begins the saga of Pearl and Jtun Holt, and their daughters, Ruby and Grace. Pearl and Jtun divorce. Then they reconcile, only to split up again...and again. Ruby and Grace grow up, torn by their parents' drama, while committed to their mother's beliefs. The girls become schoolteachers who fall in love with Yankee schoolteacher brothers who dislike each other, and the legacy of complicated love and scandal continues. Precious Jewels is a down-to-earth, honest portray of a family who are real, flawed human beings. Their lives are far from easy, yet they cling to their faith in Jesus through it all.

For as long as I can remember my curiosity has been aroused by reports of the unusual and unexplainable. Religious texts and artifacts depicting various types of flying machines, pyramids and massive stone structures are explained away by the use of thousands of slaves hauling massive blocks of stone up one half mile long ramps. They are stones that were quarried using impossibly primitive tools to tolerances that could not be duplicated today. Ancient drawings and carvings of flying machines are described as inept pictures of birds. And what of enormous drawings visible only from the air created well before the time Christ? Or how is it possible that the frozen remains of a mammoth could be found in the Arctic with the undigested remains of its last meal still in its stomach. Precious Serpent is a fictional story of the life of the High Priest, L n of a long forgotten religion. He accidentally stumbles upon an a thousand year old underground library with books written in an unknown tongue. Laborious translation reveals that everything he has been taught including his beliefs in a pantheon of gods are false. His society both political and religious is totally corrupt. He embarks upon a disastrous program of reform that breeds chaos and catastrophe wherever he turns. He is saved from execution by the husband of his lover. In exchange for his life L n flees, promising never to return. He leaves behind the woman who is the enduring love of his life. Arriving upon what is today known as the Yucatan; L n is welcomed as the God Quetzalcoatl, the Precious Serpent. Over a period of thirty years L n creates a great society that we today know as the Mayan's golden age of Anahauc. After 30 years he longs to return to his roots and the woman he still loves. Prior to his departure he warns that he will come back to severely punish any of the people who might stray from his teachings. This warning paved the way for Cortez's impossible defeat of the powerful Aztec empire. On his return L n discovers that the revolution he incited has destroyed the country of his birth and its inhabitants. He learns that the woman he loves escaped to Egypt where she introduced Lan's concept of one God to the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh embraces the concept of one God and commences the reform the religion of that country. History of the Pharaoh Akhenaton relates those disastrous results. The book combines known historical fact with the fictional journey through Lan's life It is a journey upon which the answers too many of history's unusual and unexplainable mysteries are viewed in a new light.
