Stones

About this book

Katharine English spent more than two decades as a family court judge, presiding over cases of abuse, neglect, and fractured lives, believing she was helping others, even as something within her remained unresolved.In Stones, she returns to the place where it all began. Joined by her younger brother, David, Katharine travels back to Salt Lake City to confront the memories they both buried: a childhood marked by volatility, emotional wounds, and a family shaped by expectations, disappointment, and silence. As they revisit homes, court records, and long-forgotten moments, what begins as a search for answers becomes something far more unsettling and transformative.Through vivid, unflinching reflection, Stones explores the lasting impact of family, the weight of belief, and the quiet ways the past continues to shape the present.This is a story of reckoning-not only with others, but with oneself.
