Free for one day on May 5, 2012, Moon Dust, is one of those stories that took a lot of research in order to write about a serious issue-- the impact of childhood abuse on adults. This is most especially true for those who have tried to bury or forget what happened. This book is about its impact on one marriage.
It also is about our modern educational system and one particular high school principal caught in the potentially deadly grip of community expectations as he tries to assure that his school is providing its students a full education. This man believes in his students and puts his life on the line to do the best he can for them.
This story led to a second book with some of the same characters. Second Chance takes
place eight years later with most of the same characters but set in the
world of wildlife rehabilitation with a different couple at the apex of
the love story.
