Description
This is not just a book.
It is a life built back, one stone at a time.
After years of personal struggle, loss, and hardship, John Hamilton found healing not through words alone, but through stone. What began as a way to cope became a purpose — transforming raw rock into meaning, memory, and beauty.
Set in Orkney, this deeply personal story follows the creation of a remarkable stone garden filled with hand-carved sculptures, traditional forms, and powerful symbols. From the stone Orkney chairs and wedding cog, to the iconic stone Chevrolet truck and the Dome, every piece holds a chapter of recovery, resilience, and hope.
This book is about:
- Finding purpose after life falls apart
- Healing through creativity and hard work
- The power of tradition, memory, and community
- Turning pain into something that gives back
One Stone at a Time is a journey of survival, faith in oneself, and proof that even the heaviest stones can be shaped into something beautiful.
