Product Description
World War II is finally over and woman’s role in society has undergone a drastic change. Delia Eloise Kingsley confronts a new marriage with a man she does not love, while her cousin, Della “Weezy” Ward, pursues a writing career and eschews marriage and family.

Delia’s new husband, Bradley, treats her well—almost too well. She feels trapped. Delia wants an excuse to leave—even though it won’t be easy—especially since her mother adores Bradley. Worse, Bradley is the “ideal” spouse, and Delia knows that trying to explain why she wants out of the marriage might prove impossible. But when Delia meets her dashing new folk dancing partner, she suddenly faces an unexpected choice.

Weezy observes her cousin’s dilemma with dismay and makes her own choice, which is considered unthinkable. She avoids marriage and allows a man to become her patron in order to pursue her career. But this route harbors unseen pitfalls, as well. Her patron is Jewish, and moreover, he’s married and apparently is truly in love with his wife.

Will Weezy and Delia be comfortable in their chosen roles, or will fate throw them on a different path?

5 out of 5 stars An intimately thoughtful and ultimately thought-provoking story of love, truth, and deceptive dilemma   June 9, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Set in the time of World War II, Petosky Stones by Lois Wells Santalo is the remarkable story of newly married Delia Eloise Kingley and her confrontation with Bradley, the man that she married but doesn't love, but who treats her exceptionally well. Petosky Stones carries readers through this exceptionally well crafted novel of Delia's struggle with her mother and friends who cannot understand her unhappiness and are unsupportive of her intentions to divorce a good man. Petosky Stones is very highly recommended for all readers searching for an intimately thoughtful and ultimately thought-provoking story of love, truth, and deceptive dilemma, and a storytelling author in Lois Santalo, whose entertaining narrative style is especially notable for her deft manipulation of the English language to engage the readers total attention from first page to last.
