After the deaths of her aunt and Mother, Riley Mays moved from Chicago to Wisconsin to her cousin’s home. There she was raised in a loving family home and grew to love nature. She still carries the painful memories of her childhood with her as she plans for her future. Ten years later, she is 21 years old and attending college.

Vaughn Orr is a bestselling author who ran out of gas near the May’s home in Wisconsin. He has writer’s block and has things in his past which trouble him as well. When he sees Riley, he sees something in her just as she recognizes something in him.

Both Riley and Vaugh are drawn to each other. Both with secrets, both trying to forge ahead but will their pasts let them?

This was another enjoyable read by Glendy Vanderah. It wasn’t quite as magical as The Light Through the Leaves, but make no mistake there was magic in this book! I loved the focus on family, love and acceptance. This book also deals with loss, bullying, guilt, death, and secrets.

Vanderah gives vivid descriptions and imagery in this book. She has me looking at the moon in a new light and I enjoyed this well thought out and engaging book.
