Synopsis
For years, the residents of a simple community have recounted the ancient Prophecy of Completion:A child with one face and two bodies will lead those who quest for the truth.An ageless treasure will summon the child across time. Danielle, transported from the present by a beach stone, is surprised to meet Kirk whose identical face seems to bring hope for fulfillment of the prophecy. Danielle reluctantly leaves the safety of her own time to join his quest to find the Tree of Truth and the secret it holds. The rugged coastal New England setting and a variety of cunning characters challenge Danielle and Kirk as they race against time to save his dying community. In the tradition of C. S. Lewis, The Summoning Stone is a coming of age story written in allegory/fantasy form. The athletic female and courageous early teen male main characters make this a book that will appeal to preteen readers of either gender. The length of the manuscript is designed to engage reluctant readers, while the action and allegory format will keep more proficient readers interested.

The gulls circle and squawked, their raucous calls echoing in the clear morning air. For a moment they stopped their reckless diving and watched with anticipation as the two children descended the weathered stairs from the cliff above. One gull in particular followed the yellow haired stone collector as she neared the stone she had guarded for years. Perhaps this would be the day of fulfillment
