A Promise made. A Love that will Last Forever.
If you've ever loved someone to the depth of your being, someone who for one reason or other needed to move on, you know the power of a parting wish. The story of Joseph and Anne, his wife of fifty-three years, is the story of just such a wish―one that only true love could try to achieve. And for Joseph the strength to build the stone wall―a special reminder from Anne's childhood―will take him places he never expected and that you will never forget.
The Pearls of the Stone Man takes us beyond generations and our own stone walls to the very humanity that unites us all―and shows us the incredible power of one couple's love to last beyond parting and forever change the lives of those they touched.
"Mooney writes such a compelling story that it must be read word for word all the way to the end." ―Antelope Valley Press
"It's a very gentle tale, but it has an extraordinary power." ―S. Rubin, Fast Carrier Pictures

Joseph and Anne Marino are one of those rare couples who are very much in love-after 53 years of marriage. Now, they face the inevitable truth that awaits us all. When these soulmates are left with only months remaining, instead of years, Joseph's number one priority becomes finishing the stone wall that Anne requested years ago-a special reminder from her childhood. In our modern world where so much of life is based on quick decisions and short-term gratification, Pearls of the Stone Man takes us beyond generational gaps, stone walls and everlasting love, to the very humanity that unites us all.

In this moving novel, Edward Mooney, Jr. continues the story of his main character, Joseph Marino, that so captivated his readers in 2002. Part of a trilogy, Mooney's second novel, The Journey of the Stone Man, transports the reader to a time and place in the middle of Joseph's life. Back tracking to a setting 25 years prior to that of his first novel, we are introduced to the middle of Joseph Marino's life-along with the age old struggle between father and son trying to understand one another. Using the setting of a cross-country road trip, The Journey of the Stone Man spins a tale of a father and teenage son traveling the country in a "Woody" station wagon. Seeking balance between similarities and differences, dependence and independence, the story brings to life timeless-family dynamics as children grow into adults.
