A dazzling novel about the tumultuous relationship between two sisters, a shocking loss that changes everything, and the life-altering adventure that follows. Morgan and Riley Brighton are joint heirs to Kaleidoscope: a glittering, ‘global bohemian’ shopping empire—created in sleepy Oregon and catapulted into haute New York—sourcing luxury goods from around the world. Morgan, statuesque beauty and Kaleidoscope’s talented designer, is adored by all, especially by the Brighton parents. Yet no one loves her more than Riley, whose shy and adventurous spirit is exalted by her sister. When a catastrophic event dismantles the Brightons’ world, Riley must stand in the spotlight for the first time in her life, with questions about her family that challenge her memory, identity, and loyalty. Restless and heartbroken, she sets off across the globe with the person she least expects, to seek truths about those she thought she knew best—herself included. Kaleidoscope is at once an examination of the precious bond between sisters as well as a vibrant story of exploration and surprising love. Moving and funny, warm and wise, Cecily Wong delivers a transporting, addictive page-turner that will tempt your appetite for food and travel and change the way you imagine your place in the world.

Kelly Wiese will walk you through each of the parts of a kaleidoscope, shedding new light on how each piece can help you to see beauty in your life and current situations that may seem painful or confusing otherwise. She then goes into depth discussing ways to stay connected and focused on God that will give you strength and guidance during the stormy transition periods of life as well. Each section is followed by study and personal application questions to further help you reflect upon and drive home the illustrations and stories she writes about. Kaleidoscope will leave you yearning to draw closer to God on a daily basis and help you see that everything you go through and experience in life is as unique and individual as the collection of colorful pieces inside of a kaleidoscope, with every scene adding up to one final masterpiece, handcrafted by our Heavenly Father.
