Truly Hidden is the story of one man's generosity and the consequences his generous act has for his grandson-the inheritor of his grandfather's fortune and secrets. In his youth, the unflappable Nicholas Armstrong rescued the child of a young tribeswoman from the darkness of an old diamond mine. His reward was two rough-cut, priceless diamonds that stirred familial jealousy and violence the moment they came to rest in his hand. Peter Armstrong is Nicholas' grandson-a well-intentioned boy with a good heart and sincere love for his grandfather. On a visit to Africa, Nicholas tells Peter his secret: the location of the two diamonds and the information necessary to retrieve them should his grandfather die. But when the diamonds come to be in Peter's possession, they send his life along a course he never expected and introduce him to a violent obsession that spans generations. With the help of his best friend, Tom, and the ingenuity of Tom's sister, Rachel, Peter first figures out the vial plot entrapping him and then contests the greed and violence of Ken Johnson, an embittered in-law, who will stop at nothing to possess the diamonds. Through guile and menace, the evil Mr. Johnson tracks the diamonds across the Atlantic, endangering everyone he encounters. In the chaos that Ken Johnson brings to his doorstep, Peter finds love and discovers an inner strength he didn't know that he had. Through trial and tribulation, he learns the real secret his grandfather intended to impart-the heavy burden of caring for others and the true meaning of generosity.
