Product Description
A nightgown model and a soap opera star meet in Valselo, a Croatian village where millions believe the Mother of God appears to three visionaries. Yugoslavian born Maya Lidovic owns Intimate Whispers, a New York based sleepwear company. Determined not to lose her faith in a secular world, she spends her vacations leading tours in Valselo where her parents run an inn. Colin O'Reilly plays heartthrob, Dr. Brock Stone, on the soap opera Tides Of Tomorrow. Through various setbacks in life he's managed to keep God first. But now he's furious at God for taking his mother. Colin doesn't believe that God has sent the Virgin Mary to earth with messages of hope. He doesn't believe that God cares about the world. A series of apparitions, prophetic dreams and earthy attraction draw these different people together. Human frailties obscure the intention of the call that brought them to their destinies.

Jewel of the Adriatic September 13, 2008
I really liked this book. It was a quick read that took me on a wonderful journey to such a peace filled place. I recommend the pictures on the website to bring the whole vision together.
AMAZING READ September 9, 2008

I have been blessed to have this book enter my world. It was a recommendation from a famiy member, and let me tell you, I am recommending this book to ALL! It is truley and inspirational novel envolving God, Mary and her Son, and love. This book is not only for those who have faith, but for those who are seaking faith. Knowing personally that there are miracles in fatima (and have read other miracles all over the world), I felt that this book did an amazing job on blending both true documented stories with fiction. This book inspires you to reach out for faith, something the main character Colin so needed and gained. And what is better then to feel loved, and to find love?
I would love to recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys romance novels, faith, and/or inspiration. This book is a smooth read, that really does not allow you to put it down. The authors use of description allows you to enter into an amazing warm world filled with love and adventure. I am praying that K.M. Daughters follows up with a sequil to this book!
Faith filled and fun! September 4, 2008

I truly enjoyed my experience of reading Jewel of the Adriatic by K.M. Daughters. Let me say, up front, that the book contains the fictitious account of a Marian appearance. The authors are careful to point out that while their novel is based upon and inspired by their travels to the sites of approved Marian apparitions, the book is indeed a work of fiction.
That being said, this is a story of faith, of healing and of growing love - both for another person and in one's own relationship with God. The main characters must each overcome trials from previous broken relationships and hurts to truly learn to love themselves and one another.
The story is light, fun and quick paced, which enables the reader to become quickly engrossed in the story to the point that I read the book in two sittings and was left wanting more of this story and of these characters.
I sincerely hope that K.M. Daughters will follow up with either a sequel or with another work of faith inspired fiction.
Thank you for a lovely reading experience!
 Amazing first novel! August 5, 2008
This book is a page turner from the start! I found myself entranced by the story line. The descriptions of the town and the people made me want to go on a pilgrimage as well to the town of Valselo. I found myself rooting for the main characters of Colin and Maya as well as wanting to hear more about the other characters. An excellent first novel by KM Daughters! I can't wait for the next book!
