The Necklace: thirteen women and the experiment that transformed their lives by Cheryl Jarvis - This was a very interesting look at how 13 women, some who have never met before, go about purchasing and sharing a 15.24 carat diamond necklace. The book shares insight into how they went about doing it, what obstacles they overcame in the process and how "Jewelia" the necklace touched and changed their lives as well as others in their Ventura California community. I'm not usually a nonfiction book reader, but this story was too intriguing to pass up.
