The Slow Moon

On an early spring night, Sophie and her boyfriend Crow slip away from a rowdy high school party and sneak off into the woods. But what is meant to be an idyllic, intimate evening turns into a nightmare. Sophie is attacked and refuses to speak; Crow is arrested for the crime, despite his claims of innocence. The incident reverberates throughout the community of the seemingly placid Tennessee town, among parents, friends, teachers, and neighbors—all connected to the young lovers, all with a stake in what happens next. As growing suspicions divide the town, a closer look reveals that everyone has something to hide.

A compelling and passionate page-turner, The Slow Moon is a haunting story of innocence lost, lives betrayed, and the courage required to face the truth.
