A Perfect Stone

<p><em>How do you find a place to belong when there’s nowhere else to go?</em></p><p>Living alone eighty-year-old Jim Philips potters in his garden feeding his magpies. He doesn’t think much of his nosy neighbours or telemarketers. All he wants to do is live in peace.</p><p>Cleaning out a box belonging to his late wife he finds something which triggers the memories of a childhood he’s hidden not just from his overprotective middle-aged daughter Helen but from himself.  When Jim has a stroke and begins speaking another language Helen is shocked to find out her father is not who she thinks he is.</p><p>Jim’s suppressed memories surface in the most unimaginable way when he finally confronts what happened when as a ten-year-old he was forced at gunpoint to leave his family and trek barefoot through the mountains to escape the Greek Civil War in 1948.</p><p> </p><p>A Perfect Stone is a sweeping tale of survival loss and love.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
