In the Shadow of the Moon
The Magic of the Moon...
A lunar eclipse. A twentieth-century
comet. And suddenly, thoroughly modern Laura Truitt is swept
off mysterious Moon Mountain, away from her enchanting southern
home—and over one hundred years ointo the past...
There, dashing Confederate soldier
Stuart Elliot whisks her to his eerily familiar plantation,
and his powerful masculinity evokes impossible desires. But
the Civil War rages, forging unspeakable danger, threatening
to wrench Laura from Stuart's arms.
She must await the moon's magic to
come full circle. But will is carry her back to the future,
heartbroken and alone? Or keep her with Stuart in this passionate,
perilous past?

de Coeur
"In the Shadow of the Moon is a complex
tale of timeless love. This book made me smile, sigh, and
brought me to tears at one point. The author did not offer
any easy answers. The readers will experience the heartbreak
of loss, the horrors of war, and wrenching personal decisions,
but I think they will find the ending very satisfactory indeed.
Very Highly Recommended."

From The Romance Journal:
"In August readers are in for a real
treat. Not only will you have the opportunity to purchase
a book of the quality of Diana Gabaldon's OUTLANDER, you can
get it at paperback prices. IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is a
time travel by debut author Karen White. Laura Truitt, in
search of her missing daughter, mysteriously travels from
present day Roswell, Georgia to the same town in 1863. This
story, written in first person, had me turning pages into
the wee hours of the morning and even then I wished it would
never end. Trust me, put this book on top of your to-be-bought
list this month."
