Book Description
The long awaited "prequel" to The Pearls of the Stone Man is here. In his touching new novel, Edward Mooney, Jr. continues the story of his main character, Joseph Marino, that so captivated his readers in 2002. Mooney's first novel took the reader on an incredible journey through the last months of Joseph and his wife Anne's marriage -- addressing the fateful events that took place at the ending of their lives together on Pine Mountain. Part of a trilogy, Mooney's second novel, The Journey of the Stone Man, transports the reader to a time and place in the middle of Joseph's life. Back tracking to a setting 25 years prior to that of his first novel, we are introduced to the middle of Joseph Marino's life -- along with the age old struggle between father and son trying to understand each other. Using the setting of a cross-country road trip, The Journey of the Stone Man spins a tale of a father (Joseph) and his teenage son (Paul) while traveling the country in a "Woody" station wagon. Mooney's sensitive writing and attention to detail reveal timeless-family dynamics pertinent to all families.
