About this ebook
A New York Times Notable Book
“A wonderful and wise novel, a story told with unflinching courage and honesty, and with keen insight into the most universal of all conditions, the struggle of the human heart.” — Ken Wells, author of Meely LeBauve
“Lyrical and honest....Moynahan has created a well-written story dealing with loss and coming of age reminiscent of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones.” — Library Journal
A smart young woman making her way through the privileged terrain of northeastern prep-school land, Alice McGuire is certain of her world and her future -- until the summer her best friend and soul mate, Matthew Swan, vanishes on a trip to Mexico. Stunned, Alice and the rest of the close-knit town that adored Matthew search for answers. For Alice, the journey of heartbreak leads from everything that is familiar to forbidden places and forgotten people who will teach her about kindness and forgiveness: lessons that will open her to new possibilities and unexpected hope.
Vividly wrought, deeply resonant, and told in a remarkable voice that sparkles with wit and wisdom, Stone Garden is a splendid triumph from an accomplished writer.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's the book I wish I could have written. It made me cry from page one and for me that is always a good thing. It was about love and loss and how life goes on despite everything we do to slow it down.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It's a sad book, but I really loved it. It made me thing about things from a different perspective. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a little sad story now and then.,.but it is uplifting.
