Beschreibung
A Stone's Throw is a coming-of-age story but also a story about loss: loss of property, heritage, family, and love and a young man's search to regain at least some of these.
It's the summer of 1968 and Victor is lost.
Three months after the death of his father, the 18-year-old high school dropout finds himself living alone in the family farmhouse surrounded by the neglected remnants of the once famous Gibson Apple Orchard. In the family for 150 years, the riverfront farm had most of its acreage flooded for the expansion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1958. Now, the arrival of cottages and summer residents had driven up the value of the farmhouse. Victor's mother and sister want to sell to developers and move ahead with their lives.
As friends and family plan for the future, they are frustrated with Victor's lack of direction however a chance encounter at Upper Canada Village with an intriguing woman from Boston presents Victor with an unconventional path forward
