Esther de Waal reflects on the letting go of something familiar and well-loved.
She writes of loved houses, particularly the cottage in the Welsh Marshes that was a stable presence in her life for over fifty years.
de Waal draws on the wealth of Christian tradition to help her navigate through the inevitable sense of loss but also to embrace the new possibilities it brings.
The "white stone" of the title refers to a small pebble from the river that ran through her garden that she keeps in her pocket, but also strikes a note of hope referring to the new identity promised by God (Revelation 2.17).
This is a book of simple, profound wisdom, "a woman's take on desert spirituality" that will speak to many coping with change in their own lives.
