Publisher's summary

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 eighteen-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…

Well written and marriages book

The book keeps you hooked. So well written with such an amazing story, a real story for too many foster kids, I so wish most of the will have the end the little one here did. All characters were well played . I want more books like this.

Ease of understanding who the characters were and how they fit together.

I really found nothing to dislike. The only issue I ever had was skipping sometimes. But I am sure that was just a wifi problem.

Great story

Loved the suspenseful plot, and kindness of some of the characters, but disliked the mild profanity. Great narration !

I can't really pick out one thing I love the whole story.

the only thing that displeased me is the depiction of the elderly people in this story. I am an 86-year-old woman and if you were to speak to me on the phone you would think of me as being maybe in my thirties I don't have a quivering voice and that was the only thing that displeased me about this whole thing

Simple and surprisingly entertaining

This was my first book from this author. At first, when I began the story, I wasn't the biggest fan of her style of writing. I usually enjoy more poetic wording, richer descriptions, uses of metaphors, etc. The writing felt a little more on the prosaic side and wasn't all too dynamic. However, I was very taken in by the actual story itself. I loved the characters and plot. The performance by the reader is wonderful. There are characters ranging from an 8 year-old little girl to old men and she seems to almost effortlessly bring each character to life with depth, dimension and honesty. Though not my typical type of novel (I kept thinking how it could almost be a Lifetime made-for-TV movie), I still really, really enjoyed it.

Moonlight child is a great and easy read/listen.

It was a great book with a wonderful ending. Easy listening with just the right amount of drama. Good development of characters that you either care for or greatly dislike intensely. Everything resolved in the end.

So very good !!!

I enjoyed the relationship s and the discussion about CASA workers and that social service has to work within the law . And that u never know when a child is in trouble, u have to be aware of your surroundings.
