About The Book

After her Greenwich, Connecticut farmhouse is destroyed, Lidia Raven is shaken, but also thankful that her teenage twins, Carly and Clarisse, are unharmed and that her friend Polly has been kind enough to take them in. Lidia’s already experienced a string of bad luck: her husband left her and the girls for another man, she lost her job in the financial crisis, and now she’s lost her home. She fears more bad news is on its way—and when she discovers a connection between her and Tina Calderara, the pilot who crashed into her home, she’s proven right. In the midst of her troubles, however, she meets Harry Caligan, the FBI Special Agent assigned to her case . . . and with his help, she plunges into the mystery linking her and her family to Calderara.

Raves and Reviews

“A fusion of history, romance, and mystery, Moore’s ambitious debut dazzles. With sympathetic characters who come alive, and with threads of Byron and Earhart cleverly woven throughout the pages, Moore spins a bewitching tale of hope, tragedy, and family secrets.”
—Lori Nelson Spielman, author of The Life List

“In this compelling novel, Moore’s characters struggle with loss and change, and they find their way to fulfillment. A moving, well-told story.”
—Nan Fink Gefen, author of Clear Lake: A Novel, publisher of Persimmon Tree, an online magazine of the arts

“Moore’s well-observed debut novel introduces us to Lidia Raven, a relatable heroine whose home, career, and marriage have all recently been shattered. Through her journey, we see possibilities for reinvention and the ever-surprising ways that friends and family shape our world.”
—Caitlin Leffel, editor and co-author of The Best Things to Do in New York: 1001 Ideas, Flair, and The Meaning of Home
