Moonglow Bay

By Kevin McCarey

The stories in Moonglow Bay were inspired by the author's adventures as an oceanographer and filmmaker. A down-and-out California fisherman must reconcile with the flaky teenaged daughter he deserted when she was just a child. A young boy, whose mother has descended into madness, is cared for by his Zorba-like grandfather in the mountains of Puerto Rico. A grief-stricken traveler in the cloud forests of Peru encounters two eccentric young women--French mimes-who instill in him a renewed sense of wonder and delight. A Red Cross volunteer in Lebanon is devastated by the sight of a fire-ravaged nature reserve-her favorite childhood haunt. A young man plans his escape from an island of lost dreams, a forgotten world off Cuba's mainland. In all these stories, we encounter memorable characters ― some lost, some found, some delightfully eccentric, but all confronting the adventure of life with strength and compassion.
