Crimson & Gold Mildred Brooks

After you read the book you'll know why I'm dedicating my book to every Jew in the world, past and present! Thank you , thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely, to Israel with love because of Romans 11:15, 25 and 28, 31, and 32! (Both Romans and Hebrews were tenderly written to Jews first!) The idea for Crimson & Gold came to me one morning as I stood praying in my living room. My eyes fell on a small replica of the Wailing Wall I'd purchased while in Jerusalem. Artistic leanings had led me to "doctor up" the little icon several months earlier. Suddenly, the story line for this very book and movie ran through my mind. It so surprised me I recall saying out loud, "Oh, my Lord! What a story!" Four American Jews go to Israel for different reasons, yet they're all searching for similar answers. Two of them have very serious issues to overcome while the other two have had their problems solved in America. Eventually, the four strangers meet at the Wailing Wall where friendships begin, dreams are realized, dark pasts uncovered, love develops and eventually all problems are solved. Their common ambition is to change the world for the better. My four protagonists meet one the antagonists also from the States. His plan to change the world negatively is antithetical to the plans of the heroes. Love, hate, jealousy, personal triumph, soul discovery, intrigue, passion, and the miraculous are played out between Jerusalem, Joppa and Telaviv!Very delicate issues are handled tastefully and moral issues the world has long debated are solved!Questions which have gone unanswered for centuries are answered in this novel!The intent to murder and finally murder is committed. A murder in America is linked across the ocean to Israel. This love story is very different with values and morals foreign to today's society!It's a love story reminiscent of the 1950's though no time line is given. It will linger in your mind long after the book is finished. The end o
