Rocks with a Story Lorne Eedy

When Wolfe Cruise buys an old hotel in downtown St. Marys, Ontario, there's a giant pile of weird rocks in the backyard that the previous owner won't stop talking about.




Wolfe soon discovers that the barber who kept a shop here had an unusual marketing scheme: bring a special enough rock, get a free haircut. For sixty years, from behind his red-padded & nickel-plated chair, the Barber would mimic, amuse, and draw his customers into his comic play. Now, as Wolfe digs deeper into the hotel's past, the memories these rocks hold become a story to be told.




Lorne Eedy brings his trademark freewheeling style to this episodic novel full of small-town lore and tall tales.
