HISTORICAL FICTION WITH SOUTHERN GOTHIC CHARISMA.
"The protagonist's voice was so unique, vivid and 'real' that I found I wanted to know her story... I loved the world I found myself in." -Nhys Glover, Historical Romance Author
NINETY POUNDS CAN SINK ANY MAN.
Marrying at seventeen was the lesser of two evils. Stay in her daddy's house or turn Rathe Cravis' house into a home she could stand to love. Maybe even be proud of. It works, until the haunting disappearance of Nora's sister, Shailene, drives her farther away from family and closer to the hand of Death. To the man calling her name.
During a decade of secrets and a barren womb, Nora's friendships and clues to her sister redefine her life, leading her down a murky path to a truth embroiled in the worst kind of theft.
A life lived true doesn't come without a good deal of tears, determination, and the love of a good man. It also comes at a price. For Nora, she learns more ways than one how ninety pounds can sink any man. Will it be her very undoing or her salvation?
"Had you asked me before I married Rathe, before she left us, what the world was like, I would have said God shaped the moon in the likeness of Shailene's full cheeks. I would have been careless not to mention the delicate touch of her fingers on the material she so often sewed with Momma in the glorious light of the front window. How her giggle pulled a shadow of a smile from our daddy when I said something terrible under my breath.
"Shailene and I spent our nights counting stars, wishing on the ones we thought went most overlooked. And when the world flipped inside out, it stole Shailene and all the stars, leaving me in a frightful darkness. I became a different person without a moon for balance.
"I became a different person when the truth found me."
TIN MOON is a compelling Southern tale in the footsteps of Fannie Flag, Norman Maclean, Ann Weisgarber, and Billie Letts. FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE meets A RIVER RUNDS THROUGH IT with a heaping helping of North Carolina charm.
