The Amethyst and the Peridot

When a brother and a sister undergo the transition from high school to college, their connection is tested. Amethyst has big dreams and is ready to start a new chapter of his life, but he must leave Peridot behind. Can two siblings growing in different directions find their way back to one another?

The Amethyst and the Peridot is a coming-of-age story that explores friendship, family, and what it means to be “home.”
