MORIARTY___________ There are two sides to every story - and every
marriage in crisis . . . Malcolm, bartender at the Half Moon, has
always dreamed of owning a bar, and when his boss finally retires,
he seizes his chance. His wife, Jess, has devoted herself to her
law career, but after years of trying for a baby, she's struggling
to accept the idea that motherhood might not be in her future. She
finds herself slipping away from both her career and her marriage.
The bar is Malcolm's dream, and as she feels her youth start to
fade, she wonders how to reshape her own life. When a blizzard hits
their upstate New York town on the same day that Malcolm learns
some shocking news about Jess, and a regular at the bar goes
missing, everyone is frozen in place for a single, pivotal week,
forcing Malcolm and Jess to confront their uncertain future. The
Half Moon carefully explores a marriage in crisis, what it takes to
make a life with another person, and the true meaning of
family.___________ **An Indie Next Pick and Amazon Editor's Pick**
