Seventy-year-old Keeper Wick hopes to find some peace in his golden years with his wife and childhood sweetheart, Jonnie Prettyboy. His myriad children and grandchildren are spread across the country, living complex lives of their own. But Keeper has always had his own share of problems, and to his dismay, peace continues to elude him.
Then life takes an unexpected turn when Keeper learns his deceased half-brother has left him a small fortune. The money comes with one stipulation however: Keeper must move back to his hometown of Dakota Straits, Michigan, if he wants to collect what's his.
Keeper promptly calls his extended family to Michigan for a reunion and a funeral but, as Keeper's children from multiple mothers descend upon Dakota Straits, old grudges and conflicts raise their ugly heads. Keeper's autistic grandson runs into serious trouble, and blame is passed from one family member to the next. Meanwhile a mysterious old man from Keeper's past reappears to rekindle childhood memories of guilt and regret. Keeper is not a superstitious man, but he believes his days are numbered.
The Funeral Stones is the anticipated final installment of G. Gordon Davis's Letters from the Road series.
