The Morning of the White Stone

"In the 1800's, Matthew Carlisle, his Indian mother having died shortly after his birth, is raised in a household knowing little but hard work and hard words. Striking out on his own at an early age, he meets and marries a young woman , Amelia McIlewain, reared by loving parents and adored by her siblings. The smoldering resentment and festering anger of his childhood comes to the surface, resulting in unfaithfulness and cruelty toward his wife and family. A letter from his past and three objects left him by his dying mother offer hope from an unexpected source. Only by going back into his past, searching for the meaning of the name in the white stone, can Matthew save his marriage, his family, and himself from total destruction."
