Pre-Publication Reviews

"With finely drawn characters and sure, confident writing, A. J. Garrotto takes you on a spiritual journey through big cities, deserts, and beaches--in a story that begins and ends in a Peruvian orphanage. You'll love Natalia, as you join in her quest to find meaning, love, and purpose."

“In Circles of Stone, the profound psychological and spiritual implications will surely fan yearnings for transcendence in others, as they have in me. I have the feeling of having reached the top of a mountain.”--Muriel James, Ph.D., D.Div., author of Born to Win and Passion for Life.

A Sampling of Reader Comments

"Circles of Stone is a compelling novel about a supermodel's search for her birth mother in Peru. In reading Circles of Stone I found myself living Natalia's journey. Throughout the book, she faces important decisions that could destroy her relationship with her adoptive parents, fiancé, and birth mother. Exquisitely written! Garrotto eloquently conveys Natalia's feelings of forgiveness, love, desire, and inner strength. 
    "A great book is one that stays fresh in your mind for many years.  It is one that is read and reread, and with each reading something new is discovered. Circles of Stone is of this caliber--a novel that will touch the lives of all who read it. As director of an international adoption agency I consider Circles of Stone a 'must read' for adoptive families, adult adoptees--anyone who wishes to read a great novel!"
--Nancy Cocariu, Director, M.C. International Adoption Agency, Inc., Romanian Adoptions

"It's a beautiful book. I can't put it down . . . PRICELESS! I have already told many about the book."--Michele Schaefer

"I write to congratulate you on the publication of 'Circles of Stone'  which my wife and I have recently purchased and read.  Good job -- very interesting and well done story.  Hope that some 'serious' financial rewards are flowing your way."--Dennis Honzay
