In an attempt to escape his feelings of guilt and despair over the prospect of her death, he embarks on several intense affairsone with a longtime female friendthat force him to question his capacity for love, and finally to rediscover it. Part eulogy, part confession, and part soliloquy on forgiveness, A Stone Boat is a luminous evocation of the destructive and regenerative, all-encompassing love between a son and his mother, by America's foremost chronicler of personal and familial resilience.
