One family. One secret. And one chance to make it right.
Cedar Key has long been a place of rest, healing, and
release in the Claybourne family. But it might also be the birthplace of a lie
that is poisoning the family from within. Join the strong Claybourne
women--Anise, Kimberly, Jayme-Leigh, Heather, and Ami--as they each confront
the truth. Their unique paths will lead them through heartbreak,
misunderstandings, and pain. But their journeys will also bring reconciliation
with each other and renewed love in their own lives.
SLOW MOON RISING is a family saga that spans the years from
when the father courts and then returns home with a new bride—young enough to
be his daughter. His youngest daughter was still at home, and she got along
fine with her new stepmom, but not all the other daughters were as accepting.
As the years passed, the family started facing the truth of
their real mother—what she was and what happened and how that affected them.
Marriages struggled—and fell apart. Lives were not all a bed of roses—unless
one included sharp thorns. And yet… will they take that one chance to make it
right?
SLOW MOON RISING is what the title implies. Slow. The story
does progress, but the time jumps – in years – were jarring, as were the sudden
character POV changes. Written in first person, in each of the daughters, and
Anise’s point of view, it goes on for chapters until you are beginning to get
to know the character, then suddenly stops, going to someone else.
