In time, people narrowed their focus and forgot how to do that. There were few left who could do it-the truthsayers mostly, but even they had forgotten how to read the stones. So when it came to predicting the future, they couldn't see very far. They did confirm that the rumors about an imminent invasion by the southern empire were true.

As any warrior would. But she is also a widowed mother and the daughter of a truthsayer, conflicting duties with conflicting purposes.

This was the beginning of a four-year apprenticeship and a forty-nine-year career. Wilson married a Michigan girl, who he met while they were both attending West Indies College (currently NCU). They lived in New York in the 1970s. The union was blessed with a boy and a girl. They settled in Pennsylvania for thirty-four years, and Wilson established his full service jewelry store between 1982 and 2016. Two of those years, he presided over the town's business community. Wilson retired in 2016. To date, this is Leonard Archie Wilson's second novel. His first novel was entitled A Jamaican Family's Saga.
