A Harvest of Stars: Locklyn Gaines isn't her mother, but the residents of her small southeastern Kentucky town don't care. She has grown up in the shadow of her mother's shame, suffering the abuse of a drunk stepfather, with only her friend Isaiah for companionship. With high school graduation days away, the two of them have the smallest chance of escape. Starlight: A strange man has been watching Lanie as she leaves high school with her friends every day, but she is reluctant to tell her parents about this unnerving development. An only child, she is close to both of her parents, but her mother's unexplained distrust of others makes Lanie worry about sharing anything distressing with them. When the stranger ventures closer to home, his intent is revealed, and her parents' carefully concealed past is brought back in all its dark horror. Also includes the companion short story Moonlight.
