A teenage girl is involved in a hostage situation and helps
save her family with the help of an heirloom, a magic pouch which also helped
her ancestors during World War II.
An antique pouch from her grandfather isn’t the most
exciting birthday gift Danni McAllister can think of, but as she learns the
power of this pouch to grant wishes and protect her from danger, it becomes a
treasured possession. Learning how the
pouch has helped her ancestors during World War II gives her the courage to
face deadly enemies who kidnap her family and hold them hostage, due to her
father’s discovery of a valuable rhodium mine.
Danni must rescue her family and friends and learn wisdom and faith in
this adventure of magical realism.
