A Cry of Stone
by Michael O'Brien
O'Brien takes the reader deep into the heart of a "small" person. There he uncovers the beauty and struggles of a soul who wants only to create, to help others to see what she sees. The story also explores the complex lies and false images, the ambitions and posturing that dominate much of contemporary culture, and shows how these have contributed to a loss of our understanding of the sacredness of each human life.
Once again, Michael O'Brien beautifully demonstrates
that no matter how insignificant a person may be in the world's eyes,
marvels and mysteries are to be found in everyone. His central character,
Rose, is among the despised and rejected of the earth, yet her life bears
witness to the greatness in man, and to his eternal destiny.
