The Palace of the Moon — Janet Kellough

Cara Collins returns to her home town to bury her mother and discovers a secret that was spawned one balmy spring night at The Palace of the Moon, a ramshackle dance hall perched on the spectacular sand dunes that fringe the western edge of Prince Edward County. Three women have been caught up in a series of events that revolve around Cara's father - bootlegger, businessman and wheeler-dealer Len Collins - in a way that profoundly affects her own life. Set against the spectacular natural beauty of Ontario's famous island county, The Palace of the Moon tells an absorbing tale of friendships that last a lifetime.
