Author Description

The Pokhraj, a yellow sapphire much revered for its spiritual component, links the past, the present and the future through a child and family in quite unexpected ways. A soul enters a new family by choice of its own, and affects their lives forever. The mother knows when the soul arrives, and develops the symbiotic spiritual relationship with her. The Pokhraj crystallizes the meaning of the soul's experience. Any mother (or would-be mother) will cherish this depiction of a child in the making, and the effect of their child on everything around them, all the way to adulthood.
