Description of this Book
When Kate and Madeline's father goes missing on a routine local flight, family life is thrown into chaos. While the close rural community helps the family deal with their grief, Kate lights a lamp every night in the window of the old tin hut on the hill in the hope that it will help her father find his way home. Madeline invests her hope in building a replica of the fabled stone man. But it is the appearance of the troubled Troy that brings comfort to Kate in the most unexpected way. To Kate, Troy seems nearly as lost as her father, and the mystery surrounding him and also the stone man leads Kate into dangerous territory.
