Despite her misgivings, child psychologist Lynn McLeod returns to Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains to help ten-year-old Jilly, her ex-husband Stephen's child. But what she finds at the secluded household are more questions. And the danger that threatens both Stephen and Jilly soon closes tightly around Lynn. And all the while, the soft, hypnotic sound in the wind--the eerie yet beautiful music of the Singing Stones--lures Lynn into a realm of mystery, murder, and dormant passion. And, perhaps, to the key to her own destiny....

The healing gift of an important storyteller
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The SINGING STONES stand in the Blue Ridge Mountains liek old men, shrieking through the night. A troubled young girl, Jilly, ignored by her wheelchair bound father, Stephen, and her movie star mother, Oriana Devi. A pair of amateur psychics, Julian and Vivian, deeply into reincarnation, attempt to aid little Jilly with their strange, eerie advice. Meanwhile on a nearby horse farm a lovely chatelaine, Neryl, is married to the unapproachable and nasty Everett, but she's having an affair with a handyman a la Constance Chatterley. Into this mix of personalities comes our heroine, Lynn MacLeod, once married to Stephen long ago, before Jilly's birth or even the arrival of the alluring dancer, Oriana. Lynn has a lot of lessons to learn about growing up and also who she was in a past life. Can she save Jilly before the curse of the singing stones sets in?If you have a heart for romantic suspense, you've probably already read a dozen or more by America's answer to Daphne du Maurier, Phyllis A. Whitney. In "The SINGING STONES" we learn that a simple thing like a tiny slab of rose quartz is good for a broken heart. This advice has probably saved many lives, I know it has helped mine. I go to sleep with a smile on my face and "The SINGING STONES" turned over on its side by the night stand. Whitney is one of America's greatest treasures.
