When the Moon Turns Blue

A Novel

De: Pamela Terry

Narrado por: Xe Sands

One woman fights to hold on to her friends, her family, and all that she holds dear as a brewing conflict divides her small-town Georgia community in this powerful novel from the author of The Sweet Taste of Muscadines.

“This book is a treasure. Pamela Terry writes with a poet’s ear and a wicked sense of comic timing.”—Nationally bestselling author Barbara O’Neal

On the morning after Harry Cline’s funeral, a rare ice storm hits the town of Wesleyan, Georgia. The community wakes up to find its controversial statue of Confederate general Henry Benning destroyed—and not by the weather. Half the town had wanted to remove the statue; the other half had wanted to preserve it. Now that the matter has been taken out of their hands, the town’s long-simmering tensions are laid bare.

Without Harry beside her, Marietta is left to question many of her preconceived ideas about her friends and family. Her childhood friend, Butter, has come to her aid in ways Marietta never expected or asked for. Her sister-in-law, Glinda, is behaving completely out of character, and her brother, Macon, the top defense attorney in the Southeast, is determined to find those responsible for the damage to the statue and protect the legacy of Old Man Griffin, the owner of the park where it once stood. Marietta longs to salvage these connections, but the world is changing and the divides can no longer be ignored.

With a cast of compassionate, relatable characters, When the Moon Turns Blue is a poignant and timely novel about family, friendship, and what can happen when we discover that we don’t particularly like the people we love.

Just what I neededn

Not your perfect ending wrapped up with a bow but a pleasant ending all the same that I lovef!

Hits close to home!

This story could very well have taken place where I live. I’m not sure where a come down on the issue, as I have very mixed feelings on the subject! But if nothing else the story gave me a different perspective.

Pay attention

The first time I got to chapter 7 and gave up. Listened to several other books and then decided to give it another go from the beginning. Knowing I had to give this one my full attention because there are so many characters. I am so glad I did! It was very rewarding and now I feel that I will miss the the people in this book. They quickly became like friends. And the narration is fantastic!
