SynopsisWith over 120 photographs, The Legend of Barjo Restaurant chronicles a personal life of challenges, a public life of dedication and hard work, and a New England community's transformation from the isolated, agricultural 19th to the global, media-influenced 20th century. The 416 page biography is the story of Josephine Jo Stone. When she was born in East Stoneham, Maine, in the foothills of the White Mountains in 1903, there was little reason to believe that this daughter of a woodsman would rise above her peers to become a successful business woman, real estate owner, philanthropist, and friend to senators and governors. As her co-worker, protegee, friend and companion, author J. Emily Foster tells the story of Jo Stone and of a small town's growth and change and does so with intelligence, clarity and affection.
