<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>The year is 1906 and twelve-year-old Violet Blake finds an unusual stone by the stream where her mother used to harvest medicine. Violet is certain that the Stone is magic-and if anyone's in need of its powers it's Violet. Her mother and adored little brother are gone perhaps never to return and her heartbroken father can't seem to sustain the family's failing farm near the shores of Lake Michigan and the mysteriously clear Blue Lake.</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)> </span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1); background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0)>Surely the power of the Stone can make things right for Violet and her fractured family.
