Book Description:
From New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice comes a long-awaited opportunity for readers to discover an acclaimed early novel–one of this cherished storyteller’s most powerful and complex portraits of the fragile bonds of family and home.
STONE HEART
Nomadic archaeologist Maria Dark is returning home again to the Connecticut shore–a magical place where she, her sister Sophie, and their brother Peter spent their childhood on the banks of Bell Stream. After fifteen years away, Maria hopes that she can rediscover the joy and optimism of her youth in the arms of her family. But things have changed. Maria’s siblings and her mother have weathered difficult times...and Sophie and her children are not as happy as they seem. Now Maria will embark upon an emotional journey–navigating the memories of a tender past–toward the truth at the heart of her family and the chance for a new beginning.
A remarkably graceful and intuitive novel, Stone Heart reveals the depths of faith and love that can mend life’s most fragile and precious ties. As never before, Luanne Rice inspires us all to look love squarely in the eye and never let it go.

The first Luanne Rice novel I've read {Silver Bells, a much more simple book, was the second}. Stone Heart blew me away. A very intense novel, with wonderfully complex characters and an emotional and disturbing plot. Truly can't say enough good things abt this book, which is why I gave it 5 stars. Just read it!

This author writes poignantly of human emotions. The book makes many important points about human behavior not the least of which is the power of words. The topic of abuse, whether physical or emotional, is never a pleasant one to read about. But presented the way this author does it becomes a moving experience, and educational as well.
