On Moonberry Lake
Book One of the Moonberry Lake Series
Welcome to Moonberry Lake follows the gripping journey of Cora Matthews, as she is brought back to a place that she was taken away from as a child and never allowed to return. That is, until the death of her mother forces her to reconcile with the memories that have haunted her since she was child.
As old ghosts are put to rest, new ones emerge. Her desire to start a new life in Moonberry Lake does not go as smoothly as she anticipated. She quickly learns that living in this small town presents as many challenges as it does surprises. Many secrets unfold and tragedy finds her once again, destroying everything she has built.
However, it is the wild stories from an old woman in a cemetery, homemade bread from an eccentric artist, tea parties with a Victorian lady, the satire of a mysterious cat woman, and the grit of a handyman that make her see the blessings in life.
Cora often finds herself in hilarious and humiliating situations, witnessed by her neighbor Ben Walker who is always present to rescue her. Ben is the one person she wants to avoid, yet their paths continue to cross. By going on faith, she ends up forming a family among strangers, discovers strength that she didn’t know she possessed, and even finds love when she wasn’t looking.
Welcome to Moonberry Lake is ultimately about how our relationships affect us. The story reminds us of what truly matters and redefines our idea of family. The small town charm, unique characters, hilarious mishaps, and heartwarming life lessons make you laugh, cry, and leave you with hope.
