This novel immerses us expertly in the high society world of modern Savannah and the tropical heat of the Philippines during World War II, both anchored by an endearing character you'll never forget, caught up in an intricate plot that will keep the pages turning long into the night. Heather Bell Adams is a truly gifted novelist." </p>-Silas House, author of <em>Southernmost </em></p>"A plot-perfect page turner ... Adams has hit the sweet spot, mastering a literary tone with commercial pacing ... a screen-worthy winner and a book club bullseye"</p>-Julie Cantrell, <em>New York Times</em> and <em>USA TODAY</em> bestselling author<br>of <em>Perennials</em> and <em>The Feathered Bone</em></p>"Telling a story from the heart is Heather Bell Adams's specialty. <em>The Good Luck Stone</em> captures the complicated layers of friendship between women in two time periods, their losses and loves and the choices that bind them together, for good or bad. Her deft use of detail paints the beauty of modern-day Savannah with breathtaking clarity, and brings to light the horrors faced in the Pacific during WWII. But it is her tender portrayal of the desperate journey of Audrey and Laurel that will grab the reader from the first page, defining the complexities of keeping a promise and what it means to be, and to have, a friend."</p>-Kimberly Brock, award winning author of <em>The River Witch</em></p><br>
