A Novel of the Deep South.
There are three generations of Moon women living in the hills of Madison County, North Carolina. Cranky matriarch Marvelle Moon is just starting to lose her footing in the world after more than eighty years of life. Ruth Ann and Cassandra are her middle-aged daughters; and then there's Ruth Ann's nineteen-year-old daughter, Ashley, fresh out of rehab, unmarried and pregnant.
Marvelle and Ashley both need a place to live and Ruth Ann is unable to turn either of them away. As she grapples with the changes brought on by both mother and daughter living under one roof - not to mention an ex-husband who's not at all sure he wants to stay divorced - the people she loves are trying to figure things out for themselves.
Ashley's baby is coming, whether she's ready or not. Cassandra, who has always hovered around the edges of her family, slowly starts to feel her way toward a life of her own. And Marvelle privately contemplates a long-held secret that would change everything for all of them - if only they knew . . .
From a powerfully original new voice in contemporary fiction comes this lush, mesmerising tale of family, love, revelation and forgiveness.
