The Timber Stone

Review\nThe Timber Stone ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐\n"In The Timber Stone, author Dave Abare has created a powerful book whose central characters play out a tragicomic tale full of hilarious one-liners and unexpected turns."\n"There are many other instances of fine writing, both ribald and ironic, throughout this excellent book - quite literally too many to mention."\n"It's a singular novel that traces a unique path of tragedy and redemption."\n- Publishers Daily Reviews\n⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐\n"The Timber Stone by Dave Abare was a wonderful story that will drag you down and boost you right back up again. It's a tale you won't forget and it will have you laughing and crying in equal measure."\nReviewed by Anne-Marie Reynolds for Readers' Favorite.\nJoshua Traxon, a former L.A.-based rock star, and B-list reality show fixture left L.A. for small-town Vermont hoping to write his memoir. Escaping a past filled with lies, reckless drunken behavior, salacious backstage tales, and death will push him to his limits, especially as he recounts it on paper for the world to read.\nJosh and his frenetic pug Pickle have a routine: Josh drinks away his pain while struggling to write, and Pickle reminds him that he's still alive, with his infectious personality and boundless love. When Josh meets Laurel, his new neighbor, along with her precocious young boy, he'll struggle with that routine as he falls in love, attempting to evolve and reconcile with his boorish former persona. A tragic death that's haunted him for years will fight to pull him back to the edge of despair, but not before Laurel's own life-changing secret knocks Josh off his feet-and deeper into a bottle. Only a journey home, where he'll unearth a forgotten childhood relic, may save him from himself. If it's not too late.\nWhat readers are saying:
