About The Singing Stones

**From the jacket** It begins one momentous October day when an unexpected letter arrives, inviting Lynn McLeod to the Virginia Blue Ridge home of Stephen Asche, her former husband. Stephen's daughter-by another woman-is troubled and needs her help. Lynn is a clinical psychologist whose work with terminally ill children has brought her a compassion and understanding that may help this little girl. Despite her misgivings, Lynn accepts the invitation. As she is drawn subtly into the lives of everyone in the secluded household, old passions are revived and new mysteries encountered-disturbing mysteries about a local murder. Deadly secrets haunt Stephen and his daughter. The "Singing Stones" sound from the cliffs above the house, calling to Lynn--soft, hypnotic, and menacing. Somehow Lynn must find the answer if she is to save both Stephen and the child.
