Moss on Stone

Moss on Stone was inspired by the diary of the young Susannah Norwood Torrey (1826-1908), told from her perspective in an afterlife. She speaks to us who live in a very different time, but not so different in experience. All times are times of change, fraught with the joys and sorrow of being human. Here is Susannah's story of dreams and dreams fading, of love and loss, of time passing, and of people and places changed. Moss on Stone seamlessly weaves Susannah's diary entries with fictional narrative in the context of mid-nineteenth century Cape Ann, Massachusetts.
