Synopsis
They say there are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining,
depression, and acceptance.
Not everyone will grieve in this order, nor will everyone go through
every stage. It’s during the stage of denial when Alex Hart meets Andrew
Foster. He takes her one-step closer to acceptance: the stage when new,
meaningful relationships are formed. The stage when the realization occurs that
this is now the new state of normal.
Just when Alex thinks she is on her way to healing, she enters the
bargaining phase. That’s the phase where you wonder what you could have done
differently. You wonder “what if?” Specifically, what if the ones you loved
hadn’t left you?
Leaving…this is what makes heading off to war so difficult and
frightening for Alex. She knows all too well what it’s like to be the one on
the losing end of life, which is why she’s made it her personal mission in life
to save as many lives as possible. The extreme high she gets from treating
trauma victims turns into Alex’s own form of therapy, or so she
thinks.
When faced with her world being turned upside down, Alex may just find
that her true therapy is in the one who has always saved her.
For the first time since its release, Skipping Stones will be
