Catching the Stone is a historical novel set in early Scotland. It is about men who are willing to die... for their integrity... for their honor... and for their way of life. These men, who value their heritage as a living icon, wish to see their legacies passed from one generation to the nest. The hero of Catching the Stone is Michael, an ordinary man who grows to be much more. He is tricked by those he once trusted, attacked by those he once called friends, and betrayed by a woman he thought he could love. As in all legends, myths, and family lore of Scotland, Catching the Stone intertwines the stories of many clans, those brave and villainous. This is a tale of giant warriors with hearts of poets, gentle shopkeepers who prove their mettle when the moment is crucial and good men who sour over the years after one evil deed changes them forever.
