Fiction
Phaedra Patrick's debut novel, The Curious
Charms of Arthur Pepper, was hailed as
"poignant" and "utterly endearing." Now she returns with
Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone, a gem
of a novel about family, forgiveness and one man's second
chance at happiness. Moonstone for empathy. Azurite for memories. Lapis
lazuli for truth… In the quiet village of Noon Sun,
Benedict Stone has settled into a complacent and predictable
routine. Business at his jewelry shop has dried up; his
marriage is on the rocks. His life is in desperate need of a
jump start… And then a surprise arrives at his door. Gemma is Benedict's audacious teenage niece—the daughter of
his estranged brother, Charlie. The two Stone brothers had a
falling out and haven't spoken in almost two decades, since
Charlie left for America. Reckless and stubborn, Gemma
invites herself into Benedict's world and turns his orderly
life upside down. But she might just be exactly what he
needs to get his life back on track… Filled with colorful characters and irresistible charm,
Rise and Shine, Benedict Stone is a luminous
reminder of the unbreakable bonds of family, and shows that
having someone to embrace life with is always better than
standing on your own.
