In Stone Work, critically-acclaimed author John Jerome describes the back-breaking but soul-strengthening task of building a stone wall on his New England farm. Equipped only with gloves, elemental tools, and the sense to get out of the way of rolling boulders, Jerome tries to reconstruct a wall in a year.

It was February 2020 when Ed O'Loughlin heard that Charlotte, a woman he'd known, had died, young and before her time.
