Story
Fifteen years ago, Blair's best friend Molly was murdered. Fifteen years ago, Adrian Jones went to prison for it. Fifteen years ago, the real killer got away with it. And now, Blair's terminally ill sister has made a devastating deathbed confession, which could prove that the wrong man has been imprisoned for years - and that Molly's killer is still out there. Blair's determined to find him, but the story behind Molly's death is more twisted than she could imagine. If she isn't careful enough, the killer will ensnare her and bury Blair with his secret.

Eduardo F. Calcines was a child of Fidel Castros Cuba; he was just three years old when Castro came to power in January 1959. After that, everything changed for his family and his country. When he was 10, his family applied for an exit visa to emigrate to America and he was ridiculed by his schoolmates and even his teachers for being a traitor to his country. But even worse, his father was sent to an agricultural reform camp to do hard labor as punishment for daring to want to leave Cuba.

Publisher's Summary
A gripping and emotional novel that will leave you wondering about the neighbors next door...
On a cold January night, Sharon Lemke heads outside to see a lunar eclipse when she notices something odd at the house behind her backyard. Through her neighbor's kitchen window, she sees what appears to be a little girl washing dishes late at night. But the Fleming family doesn't have a child that age, and even if they did, why would she be doing housework at this late hour?
It would be easy for Sharon to just let this go, but when 18-year-old Niki, a former foster child, comes to live with Sharon, she notices suspicious activity at the Flemings' house as well. When calling social services doesn't result in swift action, the two decide to investigate on their own.

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book
The narrator was wonderful, I cared deeply about the characters from the very beginning of the book and the story held my interest throughout.
What more could you ask for? I listen to 3-4 books a week and was very glad to have found one that kept my interest all the way through. I find I get bored or just don’t care about so many of the characters in the books I have been listening to lately. This was a refreshing change of pace.

The Moonlight Child
Wow, now this was a story. Heartbreaking and beautifully told. You cannot help but be swept up in this story. I was pulled in immediately, listening in one day! I loved the storyline, characters and sheer heart in this story. You will have your heartstrings tugged from start to finish. I smiled, cried and was moved beyond measure. This book showcases the evil sides of humans, but also the goodness and pureness of true acceptance and unwavering love. A must listen!!!! I highly recommend it for lovers of stories with great depth, richly fleshed out characters and a story you cannot stop listening to!!!

Felt Like a Fairy Tale And Slightly Amateur
NO SPOILERS!
This book kept me listening and had its moments but overall it was very predictable and unrealistic. It was kind like a fairy tale and very safe. I would have liked more of a conclusion of all the characters in the end. I think it left me wanting to know more.
The narrator was ok although my husband asked me if it was a robotic voiceover. I didn’t think it was that bad.
This book is good for those that like a good drama and mild psychological thriller. If you like mysteries, not so much.

I loved this book
Every character was well developed. The story pulled you in. I didn’t want to stop listening. I was reticent to read a story about a little girl who was abused. However, there is no sexual or real physical abuse. I fell in love with little Mia. Its a feel good book snd I was ready to enjoy a drama with a satisfying ending.
