Description

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 a woman's life.

PRAISE FOR A STONE'S THROW


A Stone’s Throw is a refined piece of writing that captures an insightful tale, exploring both the mixed emotions of being a new mother and the despair of trying to become one. It reminds us that we all need those special, often fleeting connections that carry us through uncertainty and provide light when we need it most. The unique bond between Simona and Gemma highlights the complex nature of relationships and the value and purpose of friends and acquaintances who weave in and out of our lives.

This fascinating novel combines art, women’s issues, and a dash of magic to create a unique read. The author tackles a fantastical, complex concept in a credible way that kept me believing. Along the way, she hits on themes around the role of art in sustaining us through tough times.

A feast for artists or any reader who enjoys books with magical elements. A Stone’s Throw is a feat of imagination, truly engrossing and original.
