The Moon Always Rising

By Alice C. Early

Book Overview

In 1998, fiery Eleanor "Els" Gordon thought the new century would find her married to her childhood soul mate, rejuvenating her family's Scottish Highlands estate, and finally earning a managing director title at her investment bank. Maybe she'd even have the courage to discover why her estranged mother ran home to Italy thirty years earlier.

But when 2000 dawns, Els is mourning her fianc and her father, and she's unemployed, broke, and sharing an antique plantation house on the Caribbean island of Nevis with the ghost--or "jumbie"--of Jack Griggs, the former owner. Jack's jumbie wangles Els's help in making amends for wrongs committed during his Casanova life, and in exchange he appoints himself Cupid on behalf of a charter captain who's as skittish about vulnerability as Els. Meanwhile, Els lures her mother to Nevis in hopes of unraveling the family secrets--but will the shocking truth set her free, or pull her fragile new happiness apart?

A moving and lyrical novel that transports readers from lush tropics to rugged highlands and back again, The Moon Always Rising explores how the power of forgiveness can help even the most damaged person fix whatever is broken.

Best beach read ever

An unusual “beach read” because it has such strong, colorful characters and real substance with views into cultures and human nature. And I like a vivid ghost story. Simply put, I like reading this book, every time I read it!
