About Hidden Jewels The Opal: A Wildly Offensive Historically Inaccruate Reverse Immigration Romatic Adventure

Angus and Isobel departed from North Uist with the clothes on their backs and a few things they both agreed to carry into America on behalf of Laird MacDonald. So confident are both Angus and Isobel in their ability to fulfill their promises to their Laird that they sign a contract promising they will both do everything as loyal Scots to keep the MacDonald name alive and prospering inside of America.

Over thirty years later, it becomes apparent to the current Laird of North Uist that Angus and Isobel have yet to deliver at least one part of the agreed-upon contract. The current Laird of North Uist, Gordon MacDonald, hires a team of five men to collect Angus and Isobel MacDonald’s firstborn daughter, Sabina, along with an opal betrothal ring that was generously gifted to her mother, Isobel.

Born to a white prostitute and an unknown native tribal member, Tanner was given up at birth to a local church parish in the middle of Iowa. The town’s parishioners have given him a first name only based solely on the color of his skin. He’s then placed with the Meskwaki tribe nearest the parish town. The Meskwaki tribal elders are kind and willing to raise Tanner. The wizened elders, however, insist that Tanner must also take his education and experiences in equal measures from the white townsfolk who brought him to their doorstep. Tanner is a man with only one name who never fits in anywhere. He uses what he learns from both worlds to become the best at tracking down, procuring, and returning items of high value to those willing to pay him the most money.

By the summer of 1878, Tanner is ready to try tracking down, procuring, and returning something more challenging than just the usual inanimate objects. With a waiting list of wealthy customers, the one contract that stands out to Tanner involves the procurement of a Scotsman’s firstborn daughter and a betrothal ring to some wealthy to-do man living in Scotland. Tanner jumps at the chance to take the contract and expand his own business into something completely new.

When Tanner shows up to collect Angus MacDonald’s firstborn daughter, Sabina, on behalf of Gordon MacDonald, he encounters the initial resistance that he’s expecting to find from Angus. When it becomes clear to Angus MacDonald that he’s unable to keep his firstborn daughter from her own destiny, the man relents and agrees to send Sabina and the opal engagement ring, with Tanner and his newly expanded team to Scotland. There’s only one problem for Tanner and his team. Gordon MacDonald has sent for Angus MacDonald’s firstborn daughter. And, when Angus MacDonald relents to sending his firstborn daughter out the front door with Tanner, Angus aims to see to it that it’s Sabina MacDonald in all her glory walking out the front door with Tanner and his team.

Sabina MacDonald has her own ideas about what manifest destiny looks like. Her ideas aren’t exactly in line with either Tanner or Gordon MacDonald’s. Along the journey, Sabina and Tanner will meet a few folks who may alter their path or send their thoughts veering in different directions. Sabina and Tanner seem unable to keep that soulful call toward one another at bay. What’s a coach ride, a train ride, a boat ride, a shaking bridge in Scotland, and a ferryboat ride between two veritable badass characters each determined to have their way, after all, other than the universe repeatedly making an alternative offer of its own?
