Stone Field by Christy Lenzi (Square Fish) - re-release of a previously published YA novel, moved from January 2026.
A stunning debut novel that
offers a new look at a classic love story about soul mates torn apart
by the circumstances of their time.
Catrina Dickinson is haunted
by her past and feels caged in by life in small town Missouri. When she
discovers a strange man in Stone Field where her family grows their
sorghum crop, her life takes on new meaning. He has no memory of who he
is or what brought him to Cat's farm, but they fall passionately in
love. Meanwhile, the country is on the brink of the Civil War, and the
conflict in Missouri demands that everyone take a side before the
bloodbath reaches their doorstep.
A passionate and atmospheric
reimagining of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, Stone Field by Christy
Lenzi explores how violence and vengeance perverts the human spirit, and
how hatred can be transcended by love.
