Reviews
"We'll be seeing a lot more of Alissa Miles, whose debut novel, Mad Moon, traces the ways abuse and trauma manifests itself in three generations of southern women. Her prose is stunning, her characters are compelling, and the plot of Mad Moon is so propulsive, you'll be turning pages late into the night." - Rachel Beanland, Bestselling author of The House is on Fire and Florence Adler Swims Forever "This debut novel by NC author Alissa Miles crawled into my heart from the beginning...Well thought exploration of love, family, secrets, abuse and triumph. This would make an extremely good book club read and book for anyone waiting to get to the other side of a hard time." - Suzanne Lucey, owner and operator of Page 158 Books
Synopsis
"You asked me what love is once. I don't remember what I said then, but I know now. Love is war. It's two people wanting things, sometimes the same things and sometimes what they want is so drastically different that it makes you wonder how they got there in the first place. Sometimes it feels like the only answer, the only way forward. There's anger and pride and propaganda for the public. There are peace talks and decisions made for the better of the people. Dining tables are set with silverware (not the good silver unless there are guests--remember that) and paper napkins and water glasses alongside strategies and secrets. There is fighting. There are losses, gains, and moments where there is no clear winner. Most times it's worth it. Sometimes it's not. Perhaps I'm to blame. For all of it." From Mad Moon Three generations of women. Three generations of abuse, lies, and betrayal. Jo Evans is eight years old when her mother Catherine packs their things in the middle of the night to escape Jo's abusive father. Jo, her brother, and Catherine head to Wimbee Island, South Carolina to stay with Jo's grandmother Bibba. But homecomings are never easy. When Jo and her family settle in at Bibba's, Jo realizes she's connected to a past she knows nothing about, a past that returns to them all. MAD MOON is a unique storytelling exploration of childhood memories and the affects trauma can have throughout adulthood. It's also a poignant peek into real love, the importance of friendship, how deeply connected women's stories can be and how that revelation can wash away sorrows of the past. Later, as an adult, when Jo becomes a wife and mother, she longs to feel grounded, to understand the women in her life, and to make sense of the past. She knows she must return and face the dark moments of that summer spent on Wimbee., MAD MOON is unique storytelling of childhood memories and the affect trauma has throughout adulthood. It's a poignant peak into true love and friendship and how women's deeply connected stories can wash away sorrows of the past., "You asked me what love is once.
