Review by Heather B. Moore
Award-winning author, Tanya Parker Mills (2009 Indie
Book Award Winner for The Reckoning),
delivers a fascinating story in A Night
on Moon Hill when Daphne Lessing’s comfortable routine of life is disturbed
when she discovers a body in her pool. The body belongs to her most talented
creative writing student, and he’s left a poem for her.
When Daphne realizes that the student’s death is not
random, but connected to her hidden past, she is faced with several uncomfortable
changes that are about to take place. She learns that part of the student’s
will includes the request that she take over the care of his half-brother, a
ten-year-old boy named Eric, who has Asperger’s syndrome.
A
Night on Moon Hill is a carefully crafted and beautifully-written
story that follows Daphne’s journey as she discovers that the routine of her
life is made much better when she shares it with someone. Eric changes everything,
and in those deviations, Daphne finds a better self as she opens her mind to
more possibilities in life, including moving forward with courage, and allowing another person into her heart.
