    Through Water and Stone

    A Zion National Park Novel

    "A must-read for fans of historical fiction and anyone who values the deep connections that shape our lives."


    Suzanne Woods Fisher, best-selling author of Capture the Moment

    In 1948, Zion National Park ranger Henry Eriksson and his wife, Alma, are less than one year removed from their infant son's sudden death in a flash flood, and the weight of the loss hasn't diminished with time. When Henry discovers an abandoned baby in a hatbox on his morning rounds, he's unsure how to react, but Alma is delighted, and she reignites with purpose at what seems to be a miracle from God.


    Nearly eighty years later, Talia Eriksson leaves her job at an athleisure company in Palo Alto, California, in disgrace and returns to Zion National Park to reconnect with her grandfather and review her life goals. But when an at-home DNA test exposes family secrets, Talia and her newfound friend, law enforcement ranger Blake Mitchell, work together to search for answers.


    Talia navigates the rocky path into her past with Blake by her side, what she discovers may alter everything she knew to be true about herself. With the uncertain future looming, Talia must learn that family is deeper than genetics and that trusting God can mean being still and clinging to the Rock.


    "Karen Barnett expertly weaves a tale that is gentle and tender yet as powerful as floodwaters in reaching into the heart of love and family."


    Amanda Cox, award-winning and best-selling author of Between the Sound and Sea
