A Stone Carver

Passionate family and cultural conflicts are at the heart of this tale of rebellion as an American son combats the old world values of his Sicilian-American father, a proud artisan descended from seven generations of stone carvers. Peabody Award- winning author William Mastrosimone (The Afghan Women, Bang Bang You’re Dead and TNT’s Into the West) has created a powerful figure, both comic and tragic, who fights for all he holds dear as state officials — and his son — try to take away the home he built with his own hands for a new highway off-ramp.
