When The Moon Is Low

I couldn’t be more pleased to have my second novel, When The Moon Is Low, coming out July 21, 2015.  You can pre-order the e-book or hardcover now and have at least one book ready for your summer reading.

When the Moon Is Low is the story of an Afghan family beset by tragedy as Kabul comes under brutal Taliban control. Fereiba finds herself the responsible for her family’s survival and makes the painful and perilous decision to escape Afghanistan with her three children. As the family traverses unwelcome borders and inches across Europe, Fereiba’s adolescent son becomes separated from them. As they struggle to reunite, they float through the dark world of Europe’s undocumented refugees, murky immigration laws, and human trafficking.

Migrants make up a substantial percentage of the world’s population. Most nations are ill equipped to handle the masses arriving on their shores. It’s created an ethical and logistical dilemma around the world. I’ve found it intriguing and enlightening to think not only on what to do with migrants, but also to consider what these individuals have left behind and what they’ve lost along the way.
