Sacred Stones: A Butler Book

By Cecilia Overby Tomko

Sacred Stones is the redemption story of a woman, a home, a factory, and a town. When Andrew Varga inherits his great-grandmother Lina's home in Butler, Pennsylvania, his 10-year-old daughter Caroline begins to experience strange visions of the past. Each glimpse of her ancestors leads the Varga family closer to bringing the long-buried secrets of theft, deceit and betrayal into the light. Intertwining nuggets of true Butler history, the book highlights fascinating facts while unraveling the hidden mysteries of the fictional Varga family.

Butler, PA received international attention on July 13, 2024 with the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Some say it is the site of the world's most-witnessed miracle, as billions watched the footage of the bullet's near miss that could have changed the course of history. Many don't know that this unassuming town of just 13,000 has impacted the nation and the world in numerous ways prior to that fateful day. Instead of a history book, Sacred Stones: A Butler Book is an adventure that entertains while it informs the reader about Butler's interesting past and its present attractions.

The story takes place in 2022, with flashbacks of the early 1900s. While every character, conversation and action connected to the Zatykos, Vargas, Marinos, and Mosers are purely the author's imagination. every "rabbit trail" of history is rooted in truth. The timeline provided at the end of the book will help readers identify historical points and encourage further investigation into Butler's history. The book also contains wonderful sketches to enhance the imagination.
