The Resurrection Stone

About the Book

THE RESURRECTION STONE follows fourteen-year old Jason Eric Stern on a journey of awakening during the last week of August at his aunt's beach house. Jason confronts life, death, sex, violence, friendship, God, and the Internet on his way to a powerful revelatory experience in which he learns the secret of life. In addition to the central story, a second narrative is interspersed between the main chapters. Titled the "Blue Shirt Files" this is a detective story written by Jason and set in the near future. Blue Shirt, the nickname Jason gives to his fictional hero, is Jason’s alter ego and struggles to solve the mystery confronting him much as Jason struggles to solve life’s mystery. The wide scope of THE RESURRECTION STONE defies categorization. It is part coming-of-age, part science-fiction, part mystery, part erotica, part Internet chat room, part poetry, and part philosophy, with plenty of action, laughs, and surprises.
