The Silvery Moon

"A journey of healing, love, and self-discovery in the rugged beauty of the American West."

The Silvery Moon transports readers to the enchanting world of the American West in 1889, where the stage and the open range intertwine in a tale of romance and redemption. Hannah Roberts, a widow and talented acting coach, travels with Kyle Harper's ambitious theater troupe, haunted by a past that has left her with deep insecurities. Her failed marriage and her late husband's cruel accusations have convinced her that something is wrong with her body. Yet, as she journeys through the Colorado mining towns, Hannah's path crosses with Gray Dylan, a wealthy Wyoming rancher who sees her beauty and strength beyond the scars of her past. As Hannah grapples with her fears and doubts, she forms an unexpected connection with Gray, whose patient affection offers her a chance at healing. Meanwhile, a parallel love story blossoms between Gray's foreman, Royal Atkins, and Peggy, a young seamstress, providing a gentle contrast to the intense, sometimes tortured romance of Hannah and Gray. Amidst the dramatic world of the theater, where ambition and emotion collide under the direction of the charismatic Kyle, Hannah must decide whether to embrace the love Gray offers her. With his support, she confronts her trauma and discovers that the love of a man who values her for who she truly is may be the key to unlocking her heart. In this unforgettable tale, The Silvery Moon celebrates the power of love, the courage to heal, and the beauty of second chances, ending with a joyous New Year's Eve wedding that promises a bright new beginning.
