    About this audiobook

    Dorry Chandler is a journalist who has always had a taste for mysteries. Curious about the strange "rock" her son has found, she takes it to Dylan Langford, an expert on antiquities who works at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. When the language inscribed on the artifact is translated, a far-reaching mystery begins to unravel. This normal family's life becomes anything but normal as each piece of evidence sheds additional light on the object's significance. The Chandlers may have unearthed a fragment of one of the most profound relics in mankind's history and the key to understanding the extraordinary achievements of esteemed men and women throughout time-Joan of Arc, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington Carver, Oskar Schindler-who seem to have been profoundly
    affected by the message the object bears. What power resides in this seemingly unimportant piece of bronze? Who passed its secrets on through the centuries? And why has the object appeared now, in this way, in this time and place? Weaving a thread of good and evil through history, The Lost Choice follows the story of an ancient relic and offers a parable of the hidden potential of the human heart.

      Blew me away!!; The way real is woven into a story is truly awesome; I have some definitive new heros now as well; the letter made me unabashedly weep out loud.
    • 5/5
      One of the best books I have ever read. Vast history and webs of mystery vaults this books in front of many. Great point is made...by our hands we can choose to do the basic and the miraculous.

      WOW Simply amazing! I believe this will change the course of my life.

      Ok, up there in my top 5 most wonderful books ever but it has some stiff and sentimental competition.
    • 5/5
      This book was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a light mystery and what I received for my time, was a wonderful story and a new light on living life.A couple find a piece of an old relic in their backyard, and try to find out more about the origins of the piece. In their search for answers, they discover that there are another 2 pieces of ancient relics that seem to fit the piece they have.What ensues is a discovery over time, and the mystery involves many historical greats, both ancient and modern. Covering a brief history of well known figures such as Joan of Arc, Albert Vanderbilt, George Washington Carver, John Adams, and Oscar Schindler among others, the reader is given a brief glimpse into certain aspects of their lives.What do these historical greats have in common? It has everything to do with the pieces of metal, and in the weaving of this story, comes a profound life lesson. We all have choices in life. We can choose to do or not do something. We can choose to live life with the aim to help others, and in doing so, we may find a way to fulfil the potential we are all born with. Or we may choose to close our minds to the special talents hidden within ourselves.The story itself and the clever weaving of history into it is interesting. But what this book left me with, was an opportunity to reflect on how I've been living my life thus far, and the choices that are open to me moving forward. This book spoke to my soul.

      My daughter was assigned this for summer reading. A+ book. Very interesting, mixes fact with fiction well. We really enjoyed this book and time together reading it. Highly recommend.A couple of parts I skimmed over when it was my turn to read aloud. I was not comfortable with a word used and changed it as well as I shortened the description of what was done to the children and people during the war.It might have been a bit better for those parts if she were a bit older
