SOUTH OF THE MOON

Ivy Fay has only one goal in her young life — to escape her abusive home in Waco, Texas, and begin a new life with her progressive aunt in Riverside, California. But for Ivy to achieve the spiritual freedom she's always desired she must rely on the sympathy of Charlie Winston, a twenty-one year old drug mule struggling to survive the trauma of his own family's tragedies. But their new friendship must first endure the reality of life on the street, dangerous players in the drug trade, and the discovery by the police of Ivy's status as a sixteen year old runaway. South of the Moon explores the depths of personal freedom, the boundaries of belief in America, and the redemptive power of friendship found on a lyrical journey through the American Southwest.
