All of her life Chesney Blake felt like a misfit with everyone in the family except her grandmother. As a popular romance writer, she keeps secret the fact that none of her inspiration comes from her own pitiful love life.
After canceling yet another wedding plan, Chesney decides that she is definitely cursed. She only attracts the cheaters, liars and jerks. So she makes a drastic life change. She needs time alone to think about pain and change and fear. She needs to leave everything familiar, from the posh apartment in Chicago to the family members who drive her bonkers to the never-ending list of loser ex-boyfriends.
With hope in her heart, Chesney lands in Bean Blossom, Indiana, where her happiest days of childhood were spent with her late grandmother. She buys back the severely neglected homestead on Chesney Ridge and vows to rebuild her heart while she breathes life back into the only place she felt peace.
When Chesney finds herself unraveling an amazing mystery about her grandmother she stops worrying so much about her bruised up heart. Somehow, a handsome handyman is linked to the mystery. And when Chesney finally uncovers the truth, she finds herself In a Moon Smile she never believed could be real.
Under the desk! In a Moon Smile was my favorite book Sherri has written. I took it to work with me and found myself sneaking in a page or two at every break time and pulling it out from under the desk. Reading about Chesney in a setting that I could visualize, since Bean Blossom is a local wide place in the road, made the story even more enchanting. I think almost every woman can relate to a part of Chesney.. her hopes and fears. Great read! Well worthy of five stars!
Awesome author and story While reading this great book I found myself identifying with the main character in most aspects of her life. Sherri is great at bringing to life the joys and heart aches of the normal every day person.I loved this book so much that I couldn’t wait for time to myself so I could continue reading. Once I finished if I found myself wanting more of the story.
Read this to feel good all over! While the book is a bit like the experience of holding the friction point on the clutch before speeding away in a red-hot sports car, the satisfaction was worth the wait. She does not get her man until the very end, but from page one you will love Chesney Blake. More than that, you will love yourself! I was not prepared for how deeply personal my reading would be. It must be true that inside the heart of every woman beats the desire to experience unconditional love and passion. Respect that heals the wounds of generations of patriarchy is found on every page Sherri has written for you. More than an author, she is a healer!
