Have you ever seen something odd and just wondered about it? “People of the Stones” is a story that starts out just like that. The year was 1976 and a young traditional African doctor, Musa, sees some curious rock formations in southern Africa. Of course, he just can’t let it go. Along with his best friend James, he starts a wild project to dry and drill into one of the mysterious rock piles Along the way, Musa gives a vivid picture of life in southern Africa along with reflections on traditional African culture. Musa and James don’t neglect the lighter side of life and many hours are spent in contemplation of a variety of local brews. At the same time as Musa and James are starting their explorations; a young African-American woman in New York City named Lakeysha, is having disturbing experiences with some artifacts from Africa. The three of them finally meet in circumstances that defy explanation. The suspense builds and finally the unimaginable happens.
The author and poet’s graceful elegy about life, love, work, and growing older: “The most moving and the most thoughtful [of her] journal-memoirs” (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland). When May Sarton uprooted her life after fifteen years in the refurbished New Hampshire house with the garden she tended so lovingly, she relied solely on instinct. And something told her it was time to move on. Accompanied by her wild cat, Bramble, and Tamas, a Shetland shepherd puppy—the first dog she ever owned—Sarton embarked on the next chapter of her life. The house she chose by the sea in the Maine village of York is completely isolated except during the summer months. Surrounded by nothing but endless ocean, woods, and vast skies, Sarton experiences a rare sense of peace. She creates a new garden and fears that in this tranquil state, she may never write again. But in her solitude—with its occasional interruptions for trips away and visits from friends—she realizes that creativity is constantly renewing itself. This journal offers fascinating insight into a remarkable woman and the work and friendships that form the twin pillars of her life. This ebook features an extended biography of May Sarton.
