This book is one of the best I have ever read by Linda Chaikin or should I say the best I have ever read, period! I loved the setting of South Africa, of the anguish of the Zulu war in 1879 and how the missionaries serving the Lord were martyered. A decade goes by and we find Evy Varley in Grimston Way, England the niece of the local vicar and the daughter of the missionaries who were martyered. Rogan Chantry is the handsome future squire who lives in a maginficent mansion just down the road from Evy's uncle's rectory. I loved the romantic dynamics between Evy and Rogan as they grow up pursuing their dreams. Rogan, to South Africa to locate the gold mine that his deceased uncle had claimed to find. Evy, to become a music teacher. She was expected to marry the curate's son Derwent Brown but in spite of her logic she finds herself growing more and more fond of the squire's son. Rogan, in delving into his family's past, discovers a link from the mysterious Black Diamond to Evy's mother and his uncle Henry. Her mother is accused of stealing the missing Black Diamond. Evy knows this cannot be true so she sets out to prove Rogan wrong. But what she finds out is not what she expects or hoped for; her aunt and uncle had concealed the truth about her parents and that Rogan had his own reasons to seek the missing diamond. A well-written story of danger, romance, mystery and suspense. For all you Linda Chaikin fans out there, I've learned that the sequel to "Tomorrow's Treasure" is called "Yesterday's Promise" and is scheduled to be released in February 2004!

Usually I never, ever give five stars but, on this book I feel I must. It's a wonderful book probably one of the best I have ever read (and I have read a few). The characters were outstanding and the plot is just as good. I love this book and as soon as I set it down I went out to grab the next in the series. Just read it, and you too will be amazed.

I have never rated a book online before beacuse no book has ever compelled me to like this one has. This was my first book to read by Linda Chaikin, but it will not be my last. This book gets your attention on the very first page and never lets you go. You will fall in love with the characters, the plot, everything about it. It has everything: adventure, suspense, mystery and most of all love. I did not want it to end. It is perfect.

I Am a true fan of Linda Chaikin and have very high respect for her. She has yet again made a terrific romance bloom in less than 2000 pages. The budding relationship between Evy(a sweet and strong young lady) and Rogan (an intreging and fun loving male) is absolutly awesome! I am just dieing for number two! I read it in less than four days (if that tells you anything)! Linda Has SO Much Talent and so much knowledge it makes my admoration grow higher with every book i read, and find myself enjoying. READ READ READ....or, if you can't stand suspence, read when you have # two right next to you so you can keep going!!!

I picked this up at a store thinking it would be a cute book. I read it in one night! I couldn't put it down. I laugh, I gasped, emotions flew though me. This it one book that I will read over and over agian!

So read the book and be prepared to be drawn in to the story!

this is the best book i have ever read! i don't know why! i just fell in love with rogan and evy is a great girl. it wass really never boring. i i don't like books that go into a lot of describing scenes and stuff. but i totally recommend this book!

I let this book sit on my shelf for a year before I picked it up. When I started reading it, I could only wonder why I'd let it sit that long. Tomorrow's Treasure has to be one of the best books I've read. I'd recommend it to anyone.

This book was one of the most incredible stories I have ever read. It was touching, and not too sappy either! I can't wait till Yesterday's Promise comes out!!! HIGHLY recommended, READ IT ! !

This was a really good book because it held my attention very well, and I only like certain books! I loves it and I can't wait for the second book to come out! I hope it will be soon!

This book was wonderful! I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next one. This book is wonderful for people who love a great Christian romance.
