The Shattered Curling Stone is a work of historical fiction, set in late-1800s Scotland and Canada. Rich in the history of women's curling, The Shattered Curling Stone tells the story of Ailsa Maclaren, a young Scottish lass who takes to the ice at twelve years old, at a time when women were neither expected nor encouraged to play "the Roarin' Game." Ailsa's curling journey takes her to the first women's bonspiel in Scotland, the Scottish Women's Championship, and the Women's World Championship in Canada. Along the way, she meets the charming and very, very handsome Lucas Plotcok. And therein lies the real tale.
 
Steeped in the history of women's curling, The Shattered Curling Stone stands among the select few novels centered around the 500-year-old sport of curling.
