The Slow Moon — Elizabeth Cox

On an early spring night, Sophie and her boyfriend Crow slip away from a rowdy high school party and sneak off into the woods. But what is meant to be an idyllic, intimate evening turns into a nightmare. Sophie is attacked and refuses to speak; Crow is arrested for the crime, despite his claims of innocence. The incident reverberates throughout the community of the seemingly placid Tennessee town, among parents, friends, teachers, and neighbors -- all connected to the young lovers, all with a stake in what happens next. As growing suspicions divide the town, a closer look reveals that everyone has something to hide.

A compelling and passionate page-turner, The Slow Moon is a haunting story of innocence lost, lives betrayed, and the courage required to face the truth.
