MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., June 2, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Patricia Lewis-Burrell, a South Carolina native and dog mom with insatiable wanderlust, has completed her new book, "The Passage of the Ruby Ring": a captivating tale following the journey of a priceless gem across seas and through generations.
Lewis shares, "Bain and Alana MacMillan with their five-year-old child, Catriona, left Scotland in 1738 aboard a ship bound for America, carrying with them very little other than their meager belongings. The one and only valuable possession they owned was a beautiful ruby ring handed down to Bain MacMillan from his mother.
"So many Scots were on the ship that day, and among them was Robert Wardlaw with his wife and children. Robert Wardlaw was hoping this journey would be a new beginning for his family. Robert carried his youngest son, William, in his arms while trying to keep a tight hold on his wife Jeanette and older son James as the ship was leaving the Scottish harbor heading to the American colonies, a trip that would take months.
"The passage of the ruby ring will stand the test of time through travel, hardship, wars, the span of two continents, and especially love. The ruby ring witnesses several of the most prodigious love stories that travel through the centuries!
"Enjoy the lives of the Scottish clans Wardlaw and MacMillan as their stories unfold in their new home, the American colonies. Learn about their hardships and trials and how they eventually called Abbeville, South Carolina, their home.
"Then travel with Katheryn Wardlaw Kensington centuries later when her journeys take her back in time through her family research, and along the way she meets the handsome history professor, Jonathan O'Conner."
