A novel that delves into the themes of letting go, confronting the past, and embracing the magic of love and family, this book has been acclaimed by the Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Where the Forest Meets the Stars.

After the untimely passing of her aunt and mother, young Riley Mays relocates from Chicago to her cousins' Wisconsin farm. There, she finds solace in caring for her extraordinary adoptive brother, exploring the surrounding wild nature, and gazing at the mystical moon—a private refuge where she hides from her most painful memories. However, ten years later, at the age of twenty-one, Riley feels suffocated by the protective walls she has built around herself.

One day, a stranger enters the Mays family's secluded world, and Riley senses something hidden beneath his surface—a longing to escape, a desire that she understands all too well. Struggling with writer's block, bestselling novelist Vaughn Orr finds himself on the country roads when he encounters the accommodating, if somewhat unusual, Mays family. He is immediately captivated by their quirks, particularly by Riley and her quiet resilience. In her, he sees a shared need to keep devastating secrets buried.

As the worst moments of their lives threaten to surface, Riley and Vaughn must find the courage to confront them if they hope to have any chance of a happy future. With the support of Riley's loving family, a touch of everyday magic, and the healing power of nature, can the pair let go of the troubled pasts they have clung to for so long?
