***** Stars “I really liked this story. It was a lovely read. Just enough curiosity, mystery (and romance) along with a little bit of suspense – but not enough to cause me any anxiety 👌🏻.” Reader
***** Stars “Daughter of the Moon is both thoughtful (themes of abandonment, friendships, and forgiveness) and entertaining! I loved all the characters and plot twists.” Reader
**** Stars “‘Daughter of the Moon’ is an engaging account of a daughter who is abandoned at the door-step of Nora on a cold, stormy December night. She decides to adopt the baby and raises her with immense love. The mystery child grows up into a fine woman – Joele, who learns to read tarot cards at a young age and earns a handsome amount from them at Diane’s Tea House. She is also an artist.
However, it is surprising that the question of her biological parents doesn’t crop up sooner. People of the town must’ve known the secrets or was the mother an outsider? Joele decides to dig deeper and many uncanny mysteries tumble out. How will Joele handle them? Can she believe the unsavory truth? Can she forgive the lady who gave birth to her and abandoned the infant?
The story is slow-paced yet it holds your interest, as Thomson makes it a feel-good story and doesn’t disclose the backstory of Shawnee’s torturous past. Her focus is relationships and their importance in our lives. All the characters are too good. Nothing is told about the villain and his possible guilt, which could have been an interesting aspect of the plot. A journey through self-discovery, this book offers love, friendship and acceptance. If you like cozy stories, this one is for you.” -Balroop Singh
