Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synopsis of Stone House Shadows! Stone House Shadows! 131,000 words, by Kevin Sloan, is a literary drama featuring the lives of John Lucas and Anita Adams, in love with each other since high school, but from entirely different social backgrounds. John goes to Harvard and graduates with a prestigious law degree, and Anita goes to the University of Kentucky, graduating with a teaching degree. Each returns to their native home town. John joins his father's law firm, an important statewide proponent of the Republican Party, and overhears a conversation incriminating his father in a jury rigging scheme with two questionable characters. Suddenly, all of the values he has taken for granted fall around him like a house of cards and he changes his focus from elitism to empathy for the downtrodden in life. Anita returns to become a high school teacher. She becomes involved with John, who meets her parents, lower middle class members of society, whose decency is impressive. The two thugs involved with John's father, Stanford Lucas, learn of John's awareness of their scheme and decide to intimidate John by assaulting Anita's parents. Anita's father is stabbed by one of the assailants and Anita blames John for keeping quiet about his father's dishonesty. John is torn by his shattered vision of his father's activities and his love for Anita. Meanwhile, the two perpetrators who have assaulted Anita's parents escape capture. They are pursued by authorities, both locally and statewide. The leader of the pursuit locally is a corrupt Lieutenant, who, after Anita's parents are killed, becomes obsessed with prosecuting Stanford Lucas for his alleged role in their murder. Stanford Lucas' suicide, combined with the death of John's law partner, sends him into a swirling spin of despair, leading him to be submerged in alcoholism. Although John is not true to her, Anita remains committed to him, despite the emergence of romantic rivals in his life. John's temporary weakness of character threatens not only his involvement with Anita, but his personal future. After a dramatic encounter with his enemies, John cowers in the shadows of the stone house where he was raised. The house looms as a symbol of his life and serves as a background for the dramatic conclusion of the novel. Despite their difficulties, John and Anita reconcile and proceed with their lives, trying to assist those less fortunate in society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything in our solar system casts a shadow. The Earth, the moon, and the planets cast a shadow. The only thing that does not cast a shadow is the sun. The sun shines its light on one half of the planets, while the other half is in the shade of its own shadow. All living and non-living things expose only half of themselves to the light of the sun. Their other half remains in its shadow. Plants and animals are born with a shadow, live with a shadow, and must die with a shadow. Man is born with a shadow; however, he does not have to live and die with a shadow like the rest of the living creatures. He can choose to stay confined within the shadows of earthly things or go beyond the shadows to become something like the sun. But this quest takes a little something extra than most ordinary men seem to look for or even believe is possible to achieve. Early on in childhood, Fr. Peterson wanted to fly. Little did he know that his innocent desire to fly was an extraordinary, shadowless thing called prayer. A real and very extraordinary ear heard his plea. So God s heart, the only one in nature who produces no shadow, was moved to help show him how to go beyond the shadows of worldly things, frightful things, and even deadly things.
