Synopsis

Would you pay someone to bear your sorrow?

In the middle ages peasants believed a mother mourning her child's death could "sell her sorrow" by selling a nail from her child's coffin to a traveling peddler.

Lady Celeste is overwhelmed with grief when her son dies. Desperate to find relief, she begs a passing peddler to buy her sorrow. Jean, the cynical peddler she meets, insists she include her ruby ring along with the nail in return for his coin. They both find themselves changed greatly by their secret transaction, but all their attempts to reverse the effects of their fateful choice fail.

When Celeste learns that without her wedding ring her husband may set her aside, she determines to retrieve it—without reclaiming her sorrow. But how will she find the peddler & convince him to give up the precious ruby ring?

Buy The Sorrow Stone to begin your fascinating journey through medieval France in the 12th Century!
