About the Book
To love is to lose, but can she ever win again?
There are five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. And Alex Hart is right smack dab in the middle of denial when she meets the good-looking and mysterious Andrew Foster. Drew alone takes her one step closer to acceptance--the place where new and meaningful relationships blossom.
But just as Alex thinks she's on the road to finally healing after a tragic accident, she's once again hit with a loss, a loss that just might destroy her. When faced with her world crumbling down for the second time in her life, Alex discovers that her true therapy is in the one who has always saved her. But can the boy who was just skipping stones be the rock she's always needed?

"Sometimes the right thing to do isn't always the popular thing. So, regardless of the success of this book, I have written something from the heart...for me and for you."
—J.B. McGee on writing Skipping Stones
Reader Reviews
J.B. McGee has outdone herself and completely showcased her imagination and ability to tell a story with Skipping Stones. This heart-wrenching novel requires a survival kit of tissues, bottled water (to replenish the loss of fluid through tears), tissues, and...more tissues.
—Kathy, Goodreads
I read this book in one day because honestly it was an emotional train wreck and I just couldn't tear myself away. The pain was just that good. All I can say is that this story left me unable to read for a few days after finishing and even a few more days before I was able to write this review.
