I have Healing Stones as one of my favorite reads in 2008. I loved the mix between real life situations and a therapist's point of view. You fall fast when you see an affair from the eyes of the adultress and see how it affects everyone involved. Many twists and turns as this book has suspense and intrigue, healing, forgivness and a lesson on judging others.

My book club read this together and one of the gals said "every married woman needs to read this book!" It gives a true look at the ripple of hurt that an affair can cause. Yet it also shows why the world needs more grace and understanding. A wonderful depiction of how the world is not black and white and we need to remind ourselves when looking at the lives of others that we never know the whole story.

Well written. Quite a thought provoking story. Things aren't always "happily ever after" and this book prepares one for an ending either way.

I really enjoyed the the journey this books takes you on from Demi's affair coming to light the damage it causes to learning what it really means to be a Christian who can forgive, even if is yourself. This is not the typical Christian fiction that tends to be predictable or over simplified- it is real. Sin has consequences but there can be healing.

Really good novel -- has stuck in my mind long after reading it. Very heavy beginning (not surprising since this deals with adultery), but still found that I read the whole story in one day. I liked it alot.
