Summer in the Moon Garden

A clean, cozy women’s fiction novel about friendship, second chances, and the quiet courage to begin again.

When Kat’s twenty-year marriage unravels and her twin sons leave for a summer semester in Alaska, she retreats to her hometown of Criss Creek, Illinois, seeking comfort in familiar faces. Her best friend Jess is struggling too—trapped in a failing marriage and hiding a life-changing secret.

Together, they create a bucket list to reclaim joy, freedom, and themselves. Then Kat’s first love, Danny, reappears, stirring old feelings and long-buried regrets. As summer unfolds and truths surface, both women must choose between what’s safe and what’s possible.
