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.

        November 4, 1991
        Having left her husband and returned home to a seacoast town in Connecticut, archeologist Maria Dark discovers that her sister's outwardly ideal family is torn by abuse. Although Rice ``is an engaging writer,'' she ``raises complex psychological issues and resolves them only superficially,'' said PW.
