After the sudden death of her mother, Joss Ryckman finds
herself running away from everything―the life she did
not choose of managing the family bakery in Brooklyn, the
troubled relationship with her sometimes violent
father, and her conflicts with Wyatt, a lover who always
wants more. But when she flees to the country farm of
her childhood in upstate New York, will she finally find the
truth of dark events in her family’s past? Or will all
that she has held at bay for twenty years come crashing
down? As Joss comes to terms with her loss, she is forced to
confront memories of a childhood steeped in both joy
and sorrow. As the past seeps in through the rich farmland
and the landscape of the treacherous, churning Stony Kill,
Piecing together the broken past and her family’s
dysfunction, the dark secrets of a family submerged in
a history of violence and regret begin to take shape, and
the reality of two brutal killings can no longer be
denied. Joss must make her own choices and, ultimately, let
go.Rich with beautiful language and immersed in powerful
descriptions of Joss’s feelings, Stony Kill tells
a powerful story of the heartbreak and suffering from
violent acts of a dysfunctional family, and ultimately
her hope and choice of a better life.
