Grant Hughes is asked by his beloved grandfather to help him die if he is transferred to the terminal ward of his nursing home. Both Grant's parents are lawyers, and his father is emotionally distant. Because Grant's grandfather does not feel he can trust his son or daughter-in-law to honor his last wishes, he turns to Grant as his only hope. Engaging and intelligent, Grant's story examines and illuminates the moral, ethical, and legal implications of an increasingly prominent and controversial human issue.
Barbara Snow Gilbert is an attorney, mediator, and writer. As a political science major with a minor in art history, Ms. Gilbert studied in Florence, London, and Washington, D.C., and graduated with a B.A. degree, magna cum laude, from Colorado College. She worked on various political staffs, including that of the Speaker of the House of the U.S. Representatives and the Governor of Oklahoma, then attended law school and received her Juris Doctor degree, with honors, from the University of Texas.
After law school Ms. Gilbert joined the Crowe & Dunlevy law firm in Oklahoma City, where she practiced in the litigation department. Currently, she is a member of the mediation panel for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, and mediates litigation pending in both federal and state courts. Ms. Gilbert is a lifetime student of the piano. She is fourth generation Oklahoman on both sides of her family tree, and proudly claims her heritage back to territorial days. Ms. Gilbert writes of Stone Water, "I did not write this book to take a stand on the issue of assisted suicide; I wrote this book to tell a story."
