The ancient stonework at its heart holds secrets and memories that have endured through centuries of change.One house. Centuries of lives. And a doorway that remembers them all.THE STORY BEHIND THE STONEWAYThe Stoneway grew out of many years of family-history research and a fascination with old buildings, particularly a medieval Wealden hall house in Kent that was home to successive generations of the author's family.As the research unfolded, the house became more than a collection of dates, names and architectural changes. It offered glimpses into the lives of ordinary people who had lived and worked there, each generation adapting the building to its changing needs.From that history came the idea for The Stoneway: a novel in which Gabbie discovers that the past is not quite as inaccessible as it seems.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/06/685/830/1066858306_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "18.99", "online_price" : "18.99", "our_price" : "18.99", "club_price" : "18.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
