author: Ashe, Elisabeth
description: After a stressful season launching a new company, Lydia needed a vacation more than anything in the world. On the recommendation of romantic interest John Mathews, she chose the quaint beautiful village of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, with the understanding that he would join her later. From her first meetings with colorful expatriate Ana and handsome Mexican waiter Rodolfo, Lydia’s vision of her world expanded with a clarity that amazed her. Not even she could have foretold just how much a casual getaway would impact her life forever. By the time John arrives, Lydia is already questioning all that she has held dear in the past and weighing it against what could be her future. The Jade Pendant is the heart-warming story of one woman’s love affair in a foreign country and how it changed everything she ever thought or believed about herself in the past.
