Publisher's Synopsis
Eleven-year-old African American twins Tom and Stefan are coping with frontier life in 1860s Texas when they are suddenly separated by a Comanche Indian raid. Far Stones tells of Tom's harsh assimilation into Comanche life, while Stefan encounters the brutal realities of slavery during the Civil War and confronts its legacy afterwards. Throughout the years on their disparate paths, each brother clings in his own way to the nascent sport of baseball, and in so doing endures to reach adulthood in his respective American culture.
