One for the Record Books

In less than 6 months since its release, Rosemarie Stone's No Stone Unturned has sold over 4,000 copies. A first for Ian Randle Publishers, the unprecedented sale of this book is perhaps a first for any book published in the Caribbean. Although most of the sales have been through traditional bookshops and online through http://www.ianrandlepublishers.com/, the last 1,000 copies were bought by the Jamaican National Health Fund (NHF) for donation to the Jamaica Library Service. At the presentation ceremony to hand over the books on Tuesday October 30, 2007, Health Minister Ruddy Spencer praised Rosie for her courage in sharing her story. In 1993, Rosemarie Stone had to deal with the death of her husband well-known Political Scientist Carl Stone and the discovery of her own HIV-positive status. No Stone Unturned is Rosie's story of her fight against the debilitating effects of the virus and against the stigma and discrimination that follows anyone living with the virus. It is a story of love and loss; of courage and resilience and a truly inspirational memoir.
