"I was enchanted by THE PEARLS OF THE STONE MAN. It's a very gentle tale, but it has an extraordinary power. It is like a fable in that it is both entertaining and educational." -Steven Jay Rubin, Executive Producer, Fast Carrier Pictures

"Are there such things as generation gaps, or are they merely misconceptions of people experiencing different stages in their lives? Edward Mooney, Jr., muses over these existential issues with honest, detailed perceptions."
- Los Angeles Daily News

"Quite a book. As an avid reader it isn't often that authors surprise me with where the plot is going but this happened several times in 'Pearls'. The characters are so real and so likeable. I really enjoyed 'Pearls' and look forward to the rest of the trilogy."
-June Cerza Kolf, Author, When Will I Stop Hurting?

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were real, facing real problems and having real fears. This book will be well worth your time."
- John Hoh, www.Bookideas.com

“In contrast to the many stories of young, passionate love, this is a tale of a lasting six-decade relationship and beyond. Mooney writes such a compelling story that it must be read word for word all the way to the end.”
