Synopsis "Burning Stone: Friendship of Fire (in English)"
"Life is either a great adventure or nothing." Helen Keller*... In the tradition of Charles Dickens, the adventure of a life well lived is fascinatingly told by Charles Young in his book, Burning Stone: Friendship Of Fire, (the first of two books) which is about the exciting adventure of an intriguing young man, Addam Dammon, who thought his entire predictable life was planned out for him. When a mysterious 'call', from the Burning Stone, came to him, his life quickly took an unexpected path, including anything but 'predictable', and filled with surprises. His adventure eventually takes him across the Three Kingdoms, meeting a variety of people, including a partnership with a powerful General, and going into the courts and homes of the Kings. With his life in danger several times, and the lives of others in the balance, this is a story about choosing to live a life of purpose, and being amazed at seeing just what that means, again and again. From his initial expectation of a plain life with little impact, his life with the Burning Stone turned into a dynamic and meaningful one where life after life, and kingdom after kingdom was touched, changed, and even enlivened by Addam and the Burning Stone. Together the two prove that life is by far the greatest adventure. * Courtesy of the American Foundation for the Blind, Helen Keller Archives
