With loss, there is healing. With love comes light. With connection, there is purpose, and with curiosity, the mystery is solved. These are the tenets of the four short stories in The Heart-Shaped Stone. They represent ordinary people with extraordinary abilities.

In "Misplaced", Celeste Preston, a successful antiques entrepreneur and dealer, learns of her family's lineage when she opens an old, empty cologne bottle. Can a found object tell a story? Jean Harsanyi returns a precious lost stone to its rightful owner in "The Heart-Shaped Stone". In her high school valedictorian speech, Jordan Holloway speaks about how youthful haste to reveal a mystery disrupts something sacred in "The Owl Keeper."
