Written with profound beauty and a clear, distinct voice, Once in the Blue Moon is a unique book presenting a young girls point of view on a crucial turning point in her familys life in rural, World War II-era Oklahoma.
Virginia Miller Reeves was a rural "home delivery baby." She grew up in Oklahoma and is still married to the boy she met at 14 after leaving the farm. A daughter, mother, grandmother, teacher, realtor, world traveling corporate spouse, SMU student, civic volunteer, fund raiser, preservationist, and racher she has lived across the economic spectrum. The story of Once in the Blue Moon was inspired by the author's own family history.
