Beyond Stone by Christine Roney
______________________________
Andie is a stone sculptor by day, street artist by night. She keeps her midnight adventures a secret, but that’s not the only thing she’s hiding. Reeling from grief and guilt, she starts to fall down the rabbit hole. But at her darkest moment, three of her sculptures come alive to try and save her.
In this fast-paced, twisting, turning story, Andie walks the line between reality and fantasy, never sure which side she’s on.
