Conclusion of Hearthstones: A story of Surivial, Healing, and Triumph of the Huma Spirit To settle Grandmother Bently's Estate, Amanda must journey back to Charleston, where she confronts the ghosts of her past, while still recovering from her grief of the present. In the process of setting her family to rights, she makes some remarkable discoveries, as she comes full circle in her search for wholeness and true home. Libby and Ellie Mae (now related) learn new lessons in "letting go their chicks," as families divide and multiply, carrying life forward to its fullest. A few short years ago where wilderness made up the majority of their worlds, they now see settlements turning into regular towns, with new churches, taverns and schools. A few surprises bring new residents, new problems, and continued growth in the lives of these Hearthstones people.
