Publisher Description

Award-winning, best-selling crossover author Lisa Wingate pens inspirational Southern fiction that tugs the heartstrings. Blue Moon Bay takes Seattle architect Heather Hampton to quiet Moses Lake, Texas, where a promotion at her firm hinges on the sale of family farmland for a proposed industrial plant. Her plans hit a few snags thanks to her quirky family and a handsome banker opposing the land deal. It soon becomes clear that providence has other ideas for her future, and maybe this small town is the place where all her dreams come true.

"Definitely made me think! And made for great discussion at book club. I really did like this book. There were a few annoying aspects to it (lead character constantly questioning herself, etc.) but overall I totally dug the 'moral' of the story, along with the characters and the mystery!"

— Heather (4 out of 5 stars)

    " The beginning is not very engaging, but after a while, Lisa is up to par and engaging the reader in somewhat of a mystery. She weaves the plot like an expert with a surprise ending. Easy to read and fun. "

    " The story was hard for me to connect with, as were the characters. It moved slow and unfortunately didn't hold my attention. I enjoyed Larkspur Cove, the first book in the Moses Lake series, but not so much this one. Maybe Firefly Island will be better. "

    " This book held my interest and had a fairly decent mystery to it. I enjoyed all of the figurative language the author used. It had a heavy religious over-tone, which might be off-putting to some readers. I didn't mind it. "

    " This book keeps you guessing as to what the outcome is or will be to the story. At the same time it reminds you of the importance of family relationships and love for that family. I love the pearls of wisdom that come from stories within the main story. I really enjoy her books. "

    " I didn't realize this was 2nd in a series until I got on here. It didn't feel like it. Anyway, it was a good read about learning to love your family members for who they are and not for who you want them to be. "

    " This was a Book Club read. I enjoyed the many references to the Mennonites. That brought back childhood memories. =) The story is based in TX and that is cool, since I recently moved there. This was my 1st Lisa Wingate book. Emotional. A little mystery, some action and lots of family drama. "

    " Typical easy going Lisa Wingate, a little adventure, a lot of self analysis for the character and of course an ending you feel good about. Enjoyed the story, easy read, great for summer or no stress reading that keeps you involved and wanting to read more. "

    " In the long run, this book somewhat reminded me of Erin Brochivich, but with much more danger and family secrets being revealed. I felt this book could have been shortened up a bit, as the past with its secrets seemed to drag on. Okay read. "
