Stone Family
The Stone family was introduced by series guest writer Mercedes Lackey in the Ring of Fire story "To Dye For". Headed by aging pharmacology student Tom "Stoner" Stone, the family is the remnant of a failed Grantville commune. Long before the Ring of Fire, the other hippies had departed, taking their girl children, but leaving three young boys with Tom as a "good role-model".

Famous quotes containing the words stone and/or family:
“Here, the churches seemed to shrink away into eroding corners. They seem to have ceased to be essential parts of American life. They no longer give life. It is the huge buildings of commerce and trade which now align the people to attention. These in their massive manner of steel and stone say, Come unto me all ye who labour, and we will give you work.”
—Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
“For most women who are considering it, single motherhood is not their first choice, but it’s not their last one either. They would prefer a husband in their family, but they’d rather have a family without one than no family at all.”
—Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
