It Is Wood, It Is Stone takes place over the course of a year in São Paulo, Brazil, where the lives of two women intersect.

Linda, an anxious and restless American, has moved to São Paulo with her husband, Dennis, who has been a professor for a year. As Dennis immersed himself in his work, Linda found herself helpless and adrift, feeling increasingly detached from her own body. Linda’s skilled and steadfast maid, Marta, has more ownership of Linda’s house than Linda can comprehend. Marta, who is struggling to understand its complicated history and racial tensions, is exasperated by Linda’s instability. Linda leaves home with a charismatic and charismatic artist, with whom she embarks on a fervent adventure that resonates with everyone, and eventually bonds Marta and Linda in a profound and tender way.

You’ll find yourself quickly immersed in Linda’s experience and introspection as she hesitantly embarks on a trip to a very different place thanks to her husband’s teaching career. Her journey is more than just physical, as she explores who she is, what she wants, and how she wants to live her life. Written from Linda’s eyes and addressed to her husband, she opens her heart to us to tell a candid story rich in reflection, emotion, awakening, guilt, growth and journey.
