What’s Once In A Blue Moon about?

Sisters Lindsay and Kerrie Ann have known hardship from an early age. Without guidance from their neglectful mother, their only aid came from an unlikely source, a retired exotic dancer by the name of Miss Honi Love. When the girls’ mother was sent to prison, Miss Honi tried unsuccessfully to save them from being separated and sent into foster care.

Thirty years later, Lindsay is still trying to reconnect with her sister. The owner of a bookstore in the sleepy California seaside town of Blue Moon Bay, she was lucky enough to have been adopted by a loving couple. Unbeknownst to her, Kerrie Ann has suffered a very different life. Bounced from one foster home to the next, she ran away as a teenager before becoming a drug-addicted single mother. Now, newly sober, Kerrie Ann is fighting to regain custody of the little girl who was taken from her. Neither sister’s expectations are met when they’re finally reunited. But as the two sisters engage in the fiercest battles of their lives, they are at last drawn together despite their differences, restoring belief in the unshakable bond of family.

My Thoughts…

This is a story that really pulled at the strings of my heart. Two young girls , who lead two very different lives after they are torn apart due to the lack of parenting by their Mother. A caregiver of sorts who goes on to live with the older of the two girls because she was the closest thing they had to a nurturer.

This story deals with adoption, foster care, extreme loss and custody at such an early age and how these two girls fight to keep on going to keep moving forward in life regardless of how tough it may have been.

Through it all this story shows how love can get you through the toughest of times and its a beautifully written story that will make you laugh, cry, and want to read more from this great writer!
