Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the summer of 1969, Moon Water finds Nettie, sixteen, with her boyfriend wanting to break up just as they are figuring out the sex thing. Nettie's lifelong nemesis is jabbing her with perfectly polished nails, while her hellfire- and- brimstone preacher refuses to baptize her. Amid this turmoil, a Monacan Indian medicine woman gives her a cryptic message about a coming darkness, a blood moon whose veiled danger threatens Nettie and those she loves. To prepare for the darkness, Nettie and her best friend, Win, make a treacherous journey into the mountains to build a mysterious dreamcatcher from ancient elements.
A captivating, suspenseful standalone sequel to The Wiregrass, a Historical Novel Society's Editor's Choice and Southern Literary Review's Read of the Month.

"The story is told in a voice that is strong and engrossing. I was pulled in from the very beginning, thanks to the author's gift of descriptive prose which floods the mind of the reader with strong images . . . The plot is deftly written, the characters rich and memorable, and the prose delectable."
