The young painter, Karla Bocelli, is all too familiar with loss. At age five, she lost her mother in a car crash in the south of Switzerland. Her Peruvian father lives at the other end of the world, and a year ago, her aunt and guardian passed away. Now, at age twenty-four, the talented artist has another close encounter with death when she almost gets hit by a speeding car. As if this wasn't fateful enough, the driver turns out to be a sculptor and carver of tombstones. Andreas, however, is anything but morbid. Quick-tempered and passionate, he exudes a rough-and-tumble energy. LOVE OF A STONEMASON is a story about the struggle of two artists with their pasts, their families, their creativity, and their love for each other. It takes the reader on a journey full of sights, smells, tastes, and sounds from the south of Switzerland to Italy and the Peruvian Andes.
