A mother and child missing for thirty-years An old stone house with no history Secrets buried below the floor Glimpsed lives from 200-years past If only the stones could talk Now a new mystery, the mother's pendant is found
From the author of The Old Balmain House this is a story set in early Sydney Its consequences reverberate down through successive generations until today
She bends forward. A silver pendant falls from her top, swinging free on a chain from her neck. The name 'Cindy' is in silver cursive letters. On its back is a heart symbol and, 'From Jim'.
I remember so clearly the day I bought it. I did not have money to buy my Cindy a wedding ring. But, with the twenty dollars I had saved, I bought this. I gave it to her with all my love.
She hung it around her neck, where it stayed until she and our baby vanished. Now, after thirty years, it has returned.
