Needing the help of someone younger, Joseph turns to his son, estranged for five years, in hopes of rebuilding a severed relationship as well as the wall. Two teenagers also come to Joseph’s aide, and he to theirs, as they all work to finish Joseph’s promise to Anne.
The Pearls of the Stone Man was written in the town in which the book is set: Pine Mountain, California. The settings in the novel are real locations and Edward takes groups of readers there regularly.

I liked the description of the novel you have in your post...sounds like a very touching story and I also loved watching the promotional videos.... Its nice to know that the story is based in a real life setting and I feel, seeing the actual house, the forest and the village makes it easier for a reader to relate to the story when they read the book. I particularly liked the video about "The Letter", it was a simple but very touching and heartfelt letter... that really speaks a lot about the couple and the relationship they share.
Thank you for this giveaway. I would love to win this book...

No need to enter me, Dan. I'm dropping in to say thanks for the e-mail. I've got this posted at Win a Book for you.
I liked the forest video the best. It describes by the author what the main points of the book are. Learning about the meaning of life, who's important in your life, growing old with someone, etc. Touching. More personal connection to the book with this video.

My favorite video was the one with The Stone Wall because this stone wall is a permanent representation of the character's life together. I think it was nice of Joseph to build this wall for her.
I loved the letter video promo of the book. Very touching and moving and touched an emotional side of me. It grabbed my attention completely. I love how the woman writes a letter to her Joey to thanks him for all the things she is still able to enjoy in her life because of him.

The letter video would definitely make me want to buy the book. It was a beautiful set-up of the loving relationship of the characters. It was nice.

The video that intrigued me the most to want to read the book was "The Letter". I loved hearing Anne's thoughts and feelings for Joseph. It was a very emotional video for me.
