Phyllis A Whitney

The Singing Stones Lib/E Phyllis A Whitney

Despite her misgivings, child psychologist Lynn McLeod can't ignore the plea to help ten-year-old Jilly Asche, the daughter of her ex-husband, Stephen. But immediately upon her return to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, Lynn is drawn subtly into the lives of everyone in the secluded household: Stephen, now an enigmatic stranger; Julian, a mesmerizing family friend who challenges Lynn's ideas of life and death; and Jilly, the beautiful lost child burdened by a terrifying and deadly secret.

The danger that threatens both Stephen and his daughter soon closes tightly around Lynn. And all the while, the soft, hypnotic sound in the wind-the eerie yet beautiful music of the Singing Stones-lures Lynn into a realm of mystery, murder, and dormant passion ... and perhaps to the key to her own destiny.
