A string of perfectly formed pearls it would take Duncan years to save the money required to purchase them. But his carefully kept secret, his sacrificial gift, becomes a symbol of the family legacy. And with the passing of time, for their last great-granddaughter who has a very special need, the pearl necklace will take on extraordinary value.
