Review:

"The Moon Sisters" by Therese Walsh  is  a interesting novel that I found  especially  for the Young Adult readers.  It was well written showing a physical emotions and grief.  We find two young ladies who have lost their mother and their lives are really turned up side down.  In opening of this novel well, I will just say this was some hard  read.  I don't wish to give to much away but you will find once you get into this novel you will find it hard to put down until the very end.  We find that one of this sisters leave their town of Tramp and takes off with their mother's ashes to 'Cranberry Glade.'  The other sister tries to stop her, however, when this doesn't work she ends up going on this trip too.  This is when this story takes off.  What will happen on this trip?  Now, this is where I say you must pick up "The Moon Sister" to see how the author presents such a well told  poetic story to the reader. Was this a accidental death or a suicide of their mother?  Will there be craziness along this read with voices that will appear on this journey?   You will taken back and forth in time on this journey to Cranberry Glades with memories and the imagination of letters where the reader will also feel the pain that these sisters go through.   "The Moon Sisters" has some well developed characters and the secondary characters are very colorful such as the tattooed drifter Hobbs and enigmatic Red Grass.

This is definitely one read that will not leave you after the read  only giving you a woven  journey  of secrets, guilt, regret, forgiveness, unconditional love and a bit of magic for these two sisters.  I found "The Moon Sisters" a very  well written intriguing story about these two memorable sisters.  Would I recommend "The Moon Sisters?"  YES!
