Reviews

A fusion of history, romance, and mystery, Moores ambitious debut dazzles. With sympathetic characters who come alive, and with threads of Byron and Earhart cleverly woven throughout the pages, Moore spins a bewitching tale of hope, tragedy, and family secrets.
Lori Nelson Spielman, author of The Life List

In this compelling novel, Moores characters struggle with loss and change, and they find their way to fulfillment. A moving, well-told story.
Nan Fink Gefen, author of Clear Lake: A Novel, publisher of Persimmon Tree, an online magazine of the arts

Moores well-observed debut novel introduces us to Lidia Raven, a relatable heroine whose home, career, and marriage have all recently been shattered. Through her journey, we see possibilities for reinvention and the ever-surprising ways that friends and family shape our world.
Caitlin Leffel, editor and co-author of The Best Things to Do in New York: 1001 Ideas, Flair, and The Meaning of Home
