This is the story of how a young couple who know nothing about fishing find themselves with a commercial salmon troller. The book recounts their transformation from bumbling amateurs to keen professionals. In addition, there are many stories and observations along the way on the life and hardships of the professional fishermen - particularly along the West Coast of Canada. The long hours, hard physical work and the unpredictable weather are the reality behind the dream many people have of commercial fishing. However, what shines thorough is the enjoyment and pride that fishermen like Zoe Landale and her husband Conde have in their work.

In her third book, Zoë Landale explores the darkened rooms of family myth and history. Focusing on family members from the past—matrons, suicides and brilliant eccentrics—she investigates their lives and the shadowy but potent power they exert over the present. Especially powerful is the description of the earlier women of Landale’s family—strong yet struggling to find their own voices. Burning Stone enacts a journey into the light, the generation of understanding and forgiveness within the family.
