About the Author: Steven Vajda
Steven A. Vajda is an author, entrepreneur, and educator who has been writing throughout his career. Educated as an electrical engineer, his work as a computer technology executive led him to contribute articles about business and societal/cultural experiences to industry publications and local newspapers. While living in Brazil, he learned that many of the country's early religious practices related more closely to Jewish customs than to Christian or indigenous practices. Intrigued, he returned home to the United States and continued researching, only to learn that the first Jewish settlers in America arrived from Recife, Brazil. That information led him to write "Golden Bracelets, Common Threads", a historical fiction novel of Fate, Family, and Destiny. He has one son and currently lives in southern Florida.
"Golden Bracelets, Common Threads" is the fictional story of the Ramón family whose quest for religious freedom leads to the New World. In 1495, King Ferdinand's Inquisitor is assassinated spurring a brutal massacre of the Jewish community. Young Moisés escapes. His exodus, guided by Fate, leads him to Portugal with two golden bracelets, mementos of love and remembrance, which he slips from the wrists of his dead mother. He takes a voyage of discovery to Brazil, Africa, and India. He settles in northeast Brazil. Generations later, when the merciless Portuguese Inquisitors arrive, Moisés' descendant must flee. His exodus to New Amsterdam in 1654 fulfills his family's Destiny. Six generations are linked by the common threads of tradition and by the two golden bracelets, symbols of the family's historic journey. Skillfully written and richly detailed, Golden Bracelets, Common Threads is an entertaining and entirely believable historical fiction novel about Fate, Family, and Destiny.
