"Samantha is searching for answers that no one has been willing to give her. Growing up is hard enough for any adolescent, but her parents' divorce has added a new level of pain and confusion. A River of Stones explores the deepest recesses of Samantha's hopes, dreams, and fears with an authenticity that can only come from experience. From the pain of losing a parent to divorce to the joy of hopeful possibility, Kathryn Elizabeth Jones takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery and promise."
Kathryn Jones, Resident Scholar
