In the Garden of Stones (Unabridged‪)‬

Grace Dove, a young woman with mental issues, a twice-failed suicide undergoing a new type of therapy.... Colin McLeod, a wounded soldier rendered catatonic by his severe PTSD, languishing in a military rehabilitation center.... Two people damaged to the limits of their endurance.

Seeking sanctuary from the horrors of real life, Grace and Colin find themselves brought together in a fantasy world of their own creation; they call it their Garden of Stones. There they talk out their problems, comfort and support each other, and plan their futures, although it is not plain sailing by any means. Their time in paradise, however, runs concurrently with events happening in the real world. Life goes on, until Colin's is put in danger, so he withdraws entirely into the Garden to save himself. If he stays there, he will die and Grace has very little time to get him back. If she fails, both he and the Garden will be lost to her forever.
