Quick Look
The Ruby Scarab
By Nayda Reed
Jeremiah loosened the strings of the velvet bag and dropped the contents into his hand. The jeweled brooch flashed brilliantly in the sunlight—an Egyptian scarab, the rubies, as big as a man's thumbnail, the workmanship, ancient. The woman he had learned to call "mother" could have lived in comfort had she sold it—but she would not. "It's your heritage, Jeremiah. A clue to your past." Now that she was gone, he would use it to provide for his future.
