The moon in its many guises has for aeons fascinated storytellers. Moonbeams offers eleven richly imagined stories inspired by this age-old fascination...each one told on a moonlit night. "Eight Maids A-Milking" features a depression-era North Carolina family whose eight females - Mama, Millie, twins Matilda and Myrtle, Maude, Muriel, Maggie May, and Mirabelle - bring Daddy headaches, heartaches, and happiness. In "Music of the Spheres," a trip to the campground of her youth brings a lonely woman much more than memories. From the comedic to the surreal, in each of these tales the moon works its mysterious magic.
Beginning on December 29, 1890, as two Indian boys find safety together midst a massacre, continuing as white settlers push ever westward, Prairie Moon is the heartfelt story of four families whose lives intertwine over more than a century. Coming full circle to the place where it begins - Wounded Knee, South Dakota - it is the best kind of historical fiction...one that offers hope for a better understanding of whom we are as a people. All profits from Prairie Moon donated to Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation, which supports reservation organizations in need.
