Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone
By Phaedra Patrick
This was a cute and entertaining read.
Benedict Stone is a middle aged man whose wife is taking a break from their marriage. He is obsessed with having a child, and after ten years of marriage, the couple remains childless, with no identified cause.
His teenaged niece arrives on his doorstep in the middle of the night, and her presence proceeds to create changes in Benedict's life.
Benedict is a jeweller, and his niece is interested in gemstones and their meaning. The duo start creating jewelry with gems with properties needed by the recipients, and gradually Benedict's life becomes more creative and fulfilling.
Eventually, his wife recognizes that her husband has put a lot of effort into wooing her back and recognizing that having a child is not the most important part of their relationship.
Rating: 3.4/5
Recommendation: Sure. Cutesy.
