The Camellia Made of Stone

By Nathan 'Rifle' Hamilton

"The past wasn't a memory anymore; it was an apparition standing right behind him, and his words had just given it a name."

Chris never planned to meet Julie again. Once a teenager who idolized a girl he couldn't have, he has grown into a restless twenty-something whose life sways between music, online arenas, and the faint echo of a locket he gave long ago. When fate reunites them, the resurfaced spark forces both toward a question neither expected: can their former love be a blessing to be stewarded or a temptation the two of them should outgrow?

Set in the 1990s, THE CAMELLIA MADE OF STONE is a tender, raw, and redemptive Christian coming-of-age romance that follows Chris and Julie from awkward church youth group crushes to life-shaping choices. With a narrative voice that is both clean and wholesome, this novel explores what happens when young love, devotion, fear, and the timing of God collide - and how forgiveness can rebuild the cost of impatience.
