Two women who never meet, a motherless child and childless mother, are brought together to discover the real magic of creation.
Simona Casale, a Minneapolis artist, learns she's pregnant the same day she lands a major mural installation at a new women's center. No problem; she can take on a surprise pregnancy and a monster commission. And with the father in London, that's one less complication.
Gemma Ledbetter, a London homemaker, is grieving the babies she couldn't have. When her husband returns from the States, she decides they'll start fresh. But it doesn't take long for her plans to unravel.
Simona and Gemma live an ocean apart, yet their lives become forever entwined when the women Simona is painting come to life, stepping out of their portraits. They arrive with a purpose: to nurture a broken heart...or two. Simona and Gemma learn about art-making, love, grief, and motherhood when they are magically welcomed into a lineage of women who share their lives' joys and sorrows during the most creative time of these women's lives.
Raw and poetic, A Stone's Throw is an intimate portrait of the human experience imbued with the magic of profound connection. With emotional depth and heartfelt moments, this gripping novel explores the complexity of love, personal growth, and the search for meaning and purpose.
