Publisher's Summary
The winner of the 2006 Best New Canadian Christian Author Award.
No matter how far you run, God will find you. No matter how bad you’ve been, God will forgive you. Alex Donnelly is running and trying to hide. He has picked a good place to do it - the Yukon - but he is pursued by friends, enemies, and most effectively, by God. Burning with the need to know about his parents, Alex returns to his birth-city, Seattle, where he discovers that his mother tried to abort him. The trauma sends him on the run again only to find out God has orchestrated a divine appointment for him back in the Yukon. The story is filled with miraculous healing, struggles with rage and an obsession with revenge for a childhood abuser.
This story illustrates that God never gives up on those whom He has chosen. God’s mercy and grace extend even to those who consider themselves unworthy, and even more, to those who are considered unworthy in the eyes of the world.

Where can you hide from God?
I read this story when it first came out in print form, and it left a strong impression on me.
My review at the time was titled Forgiveness and Hope: A story encompassing several deep issues including self-worth, dealing with a dark past, forgiveness, and hope. Inspiring, tightly written, and with well-detailed settings. For someone who's never been to the north, I felt and saw the vastness and beauty of it.
When One Smooth Stone released in audio format this summer, I listened again to the painful but redemptive story of Alex Donnelly, a lost soul pursued by the God who made and loved him.
Alex has chosen to hide from his past—a blur of hurt and disaster—until a letter finds him in the Yukon. He’s hesitant to leave, even to claim an unexpected inheritance, but is drawn out by a team of persuasive and compassionate workers from an adoption agency in Seattle, WA.
What he discovers about himself and his new acquaintances sends him running back to anonymity, but even in the wilds of a northern winter, God seeks his heart.
It seems there’s nowhere he can run from God’s grace. But the final decision is his. Will he allow God to break him and let healing begin? Or is the process just too difficult?
This is a strongly written story, crafted by a woman who knows the north firsthand, and read by a skilled narrator. I highly recommend it to seekers as well as to those who have already been found.
