Book description
A moving and lyrical novel about enduring love. 'I was the girl who
killed her brother.' Julie loves her brother, calling him Little Moon
and turning to him in times of difficulty. But the terrible accident,
when she is only five years old, stains her life and the relationship
between Julie's mother and her second husband, Ryan. The intensity and
