The Life of a Stone is an unusual spiritual memoir, in which Peter Mond weaves the story of the passage of his soul over two lives. During a past life regression he discovered he had been a Jewish teenager in the Warsaw Ghetto. The memoir spans his past life in the Ghetto and his present life in England and Israel.
