Blood Moon Over Davie County

By Marilyn Daugherty

Blood Moon over Davie County is a family Saga that takes place in Davie County, Kentucky, during one of the most brutal periods in our history, World War II. Follow the Shorn family as they try to survive in a small southern community where there is no shortage of poverty, hatred, and bigotry. Wilkin Shorn is the patriarch of his family who is consumed with failure; failure as a man, a husband, and a father, who has become an abusive, angry, man, taking his anger out on Lovie, his wife and mother of his eight children, and his oldest son Henry Shorn. Henry is desperate to escape the confines of his father's tyranny as well as the small minded people of Davie, County. He finds his redemption in the regimented discipline of the Army, but he must leave the ones he loves the most to hide the secret that could mean disaster to everyone in the Shorn family. His young sister Trixie is forced to face the cruelty of a young man who would use her for his own sadistic desires. Cliff Collins a spoiled psychopath that feels nothing should be held from him, becomes infatuated with young Trixie, but love and affection is the furthest thing from Cliffs mind. Nettie who works for the Collins family meets an interesting young man at the Collins home. Now, she must make a choice between her family, her community, or the man she loves. Falling for the young Dr. Joe who is from a respected black American family can get both of them killed where the KKK is able to take the law into their own hands.Joe was warned by his aunt about the blood moon. She cautioned him that nothing good happens on a blood moon. Joe is forced to make a decision that may end his career as well as his life; this decision must be made on a blood moon. Murder, rape, bigotry, and poverty are just a few of the demons that the Shorns must face in Davie. Join them as they move beyond the chains that try to keep them from moving beyond Davie, County.
