Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the mid to late 20th century and set in the Elkhorn Valley of southwestern Montana, The Stone Sister is told from three points of view -- a father's, a nurse's, and a sister's. Together they tell the unforgettable story of a child's birth, disappearance, and finally discovery in a home for "backward children." Robert Carter, a newly married man just back from World War II, struggles with his and his wife's decision to entrust the care of their disabled child to an institution and "move on" with family life. Louise Gustafson, a Midwestern nurse who starts over with a new life in the West, finds herself caring for a child everyone else has abandoned. And Elizabeth Carter, a young journalist, uncovers the family secret of her lost sister as she struggles with starting a family of her own. The Stone Sister explores the power of family secrets and society's evolving definitions of "normal"--as it pertains to family, medicine, and social structure. The novel sheds light on the beginnings of the disability justice movement as it follows one family's journey to reckon with a painful past. Incredibly, the novel is based on Caroline Patterson's personal story. As an adult, she discovered she had an older sister with Down syndrome who had been written out of her family history. In fact, that sister's name was also Caroline Patterson.

Book excerpt: Sydney Foster, haunted by guilt after a fatal accident, drives three thousand miles across the continent on a slight hope that in the solitude of what was once her grandmother's house on Ponokanet, a small pine-capped island in Cape Cod Bay, she might discover a new way to be in this world. But solitude proves hard to find, even there. Her mother, alienated by years of argument, arrives on the island just hours behind Sydney. A stranger - the island's caretaker - lives now in the old barn. Yet Sydney must stay. She must trust that Ponokanet is the medicine she needs. It is Ponokanet and the enormous boulder standing watch at the island's rim that evoke the past, linking Sydney to four bold women who came before her. With vivid setting and strong willful characters, their story weaves forward through centuries to the present day, to Sydney Foster as she confronts new truths and digs inside to reclaim a stronger self.

Mr. and Mrs. Merrill looked at each other and then at the long letter in Mrs. Merrill's hand. "I do believe we are," said Mrs. Merrill thoughtfully. "That's right!" approved Mr. Merrill heartily. "You'll never regret it. I am sure the girls are old enough to remember the interesting sights they will see and they may never have another chance to go to Harvard Class Day and all the 'doings' Hal writes about." "And then," added Mrs. Merrill, "I always promised brother Hal I'd come when he graduated. One doesn't have a 'baby brother' graduate from Harvard every summer. Though I would like it better if you could go too." "Sure you can't, Dad"? asked Alice, wistfully.
