I won a copy of Ghost Moon through a First Reads giveaway and had little idea of what to expect. I was blown away.

Maggie is now elderly and recalling her painful experiences of being a young, pregnant woman with no one to turn to. Her son Tom, now grown, has little idea of what his mother went through and so finds it difficult to understand her in her old age.

Maggie's strength and perseverance in the face of so many struggles is inspiring and provides a stark reminder of how unmarried mothers were treated in only recent history. This story is a poignant one, of survival and of finding the hope you need to succeed.

I wholeheartedly recommend!
