Dreams for Stones

A man holding fast to grief and a woman who lets go of love too easily. Caught in grief and guilt over his wife's death, English professor Alan Francini is determined to never feel that much pain again. He avoids new relationships and keeps even his best friend at arms' length. His major solace is spending time at his family's Colorado ranch.

Children's book editor Kathy Jamison has learned through a lifetime of separations and a broken engagement that letting go is easier than hanging on. Then she meets Alan, and for once, begins to believe a lasting relationship is possible. But when Alan panics and pushes her away into the arms of his best friend, the emotions of three people are engaged as they struggle to find a way to transform their broken dreams into the foundation for a more hopeful future.
