The story ‘Swallowing Stones’ by Joyce McDonald is an exciting book with lots of dramas. Michael, the protagonist accidentally shoots Charlie Ward on the Fourth of July. One bizarre incident turn his life around, as well as Jenna, Charlie’s daughter. Jenna fights through the book to accept her dad’s death and figure out who her dad’s killer is.

Swallowing Stones is very relatable because it deals with the topics of relationships, guns, lost of a loved one, and teenagers.

This book, to me, is one of my favorites because it take you on a rollercoaster of emotion. People should definitely read Swallowing Stones for a good read.
