For nearly a century the old stone house has kept its secrets hidden deep in the limestone hills of central Indiana. But when a charismatic young minister embarks on a controversial mission to develop the site as a retreat for ecumenical thought, there are forces working against him that cast a dark shadow over his plans. Reverend Simon Kingsley returns from observing the proceedings of Vatican II in Rome filled with radical new ideas concerning long-held religious beliefs. But first, he must combat the fear, distrust, and hatred that runs rampant through society. Set in the birthplace of the John Birch Society during the turbulent years of the early 1960's, The Stone House Legacy, reveals mankind's stubborn inclination to repeat the mistakes of past generations. It is a fast-moving tale of youthful idealism in conflict with mid-western isolationism against a backdrop of fear and greed.
