Secrets that won't go away. Truths not faced. The Stones Speak is a novel about what it takes to find a true home within oneself.
Naomi and Priscilla have been distant friends, meeting at professional conferences for many years. After Naomi moves from Boston to Santa Fe, where Priscilla lives, the proximity strains their relationship. The friendship is further threatened when Naomi becomes involved with Paul, a man Priscilla doesn't like.
When Naomi's past catches up with her, she is forced to confront the results of a desperate decision she made while in her twenties. Her response to this personal crisis, and her choices about how to be with her friend Priscilla, and with Paul, help heal the old wounds that have held Naomi prisoner. She comes to recognize that being emotionally closed is ultimately more painful than taking the risk of opening one's heart. Her courage in confronting her demons helps Paul and Priscilla find their truths as well.

Myths and
related stories describe essential human experience which, requiring
use of the imagination, reconcile and give voice to fantasy and
reality. Speaking through images which embrace the paradox of
possible and impossible, the likely and the desired, they stimulate
our personal expressive abilities in a way quite distinct from
the absorption of prescribed images which television and radio
present. This book is concerned with rekindling that creative
power of the human imagaination which in the West has atrophied
through neglect. It is concerned with increasing an understanding
of the need to exercise our imagination as one of our psychic
functions, as well as the need to exercise our bodies as one of
our physical functions.
This book contains myths and tales
from all over the world which are grouped around seven themes,
all reflective of forms of human experience. The authors suggest
ways in which these myths and tales can be used to develop our
imagination's original and unique voice through educational and
therapeutic encounter, and how this expression can be communicated
to others who are engaged in the same task.
