THE STONE ANGEL is the portrait of a proud, energetic and impulsive woman — Hagar Shipley — as seen through her own eyes at the age of ninety. Her reflections on her past form a vividly–etched chronicle of a girlhood shaped and dominated by her father; of a breakaway marriage to a virile but negligent farmer; of her complex ties to two sons — the conventional Marvin, and the flamboyant, adored John, whom she eventually destroys. Hagar in widowhood is still fiercely responsible, still armored by her steely humor, still isolated by her life–long habits of pride and self–reliance. But she does not remain untouched.
