Once in a Blue Moon — Eileen Goudge

From the New York Times bestse mg aut or of Woman in Red and The Diary comes another emotionally charged family drama, focusing on two sisters and their turbulent lives and loves.

While growing up, it was Lindsay's job to look after her little sister, Kerrie Ann. When the girls' stripper mom was T. sent to prison for selling drugs, their neighbor, a retired exotic dancer by the name of Miss Honi Love, fought to keep them, but to no avail.

Thirty years later, Lindsay is the owner of a bookstore in the sleepy California seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. Adopted by a loving couple -- from whom she inherited the home she shares with the ever-feisty Miss Honi -- she's still trying to reconnect with her long-lost sister. Unbeknownst to Lindsay, Kerrie Ann has led a very different life, bounced from one foster home to the next. Now, newly sober, Kerrie Ann is fighting to regain custody of her little girl.

When the sisters are finally reunited, the two very different women clash. As Lindsay and Kerrie Ann engage in the fiercest battles of their lives -- while each embarks on a journey of the heart with the unlikeliest of men -- they are drawn together, restoring belief in the unshakable bond of family.
