Swallowing Stones by Joyce McDonald
When Michael discovers that he has accidentally killed the father of a friend, he struggles with his guilt until he can no longer keep his dreadful secret. A kindhearted story focusing on both the perspectives - the killer and the family grieving their loss.
that sounds really painful. very interesting though. i'm not sure anybody could swallow stones, unless they were pretty small. i wonder what it could be about??? yeah i know im awsome!
ReplyDeleteInteresting... Interesting. I guess it would be hard to kill your friends dad and not know it.
ReplyDeleteAre they really swallowing stones? One of the strongest features of this story is its ability to convey the emotions that the various situations evoke and then show how the characters deal with them.
