In the heat of summer  the Ferrero family escapes to the lush expanse of Tigre. Osvaldo  a distinguished doctor  and his wife Yolanda gather with their daughters  sensible Julieta who lives with her husband in Miami  and willful Graciela--nineteen  radiant  and madly in love with her fianc  Jos. It will be the last time they are all together.  On their return  the military Junta stages a coup  and Osvaldo is forced to flee to Europe as friends and colleagues disappear overnight. When Jos is abducted  Graciela goes into hiding; when she and her friends are dragged from an apartment by plainclothes policemen  the devastating reality of the Junta is no longer remote. Osvaldo can only witness the disintegration of his family from afar  while Yolanda fights on the ground to find and reclaim their beloved daughter. Soon they realize they may be fighting for an unknown grandchild as well.  The Memory Stones commemorates the thousands of Argentinians--the Disappeared--who fell victim to the brutality of the period  the effects of which are still being felt today. Following one family seeking to rebuild itself after unimaginable loss  it is the story--both heartbreaking and inspiring--of a country striving to survive even in the face of terror.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923780501557,"sku":"ByrdShop_1632860163","price":102.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781632860163.jpg?v=1794114419","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-memory-stones-9781632860163","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
