"An insightful, riveting study of marriage." --People From the
bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes, a masterful and "absorbing"
(The New York Times) novel about a couple in a small town
navigating the complexities of marriage, family, and longing.
Malcolm Gephardt, handsome and gregarious longtime bartender at the
Half Moon, has always dreamed of owning a bar. When his boss
finally retires, Malcolm stretches to buy the place. He sees
unquantifiable magic and potential in the Half Moon and hopes to
transform it into a bigger success, but struggles to stay afloat.
His smart and confident wife, Jess, has devoted herself to her law
career. After years of trying for a baby, she is facing the idea
that motherhood may not be in the cards for her. Like Malcolm, she
feels her youth beginning to slip away and wonders how to reshape
her future. "A quick and impactful read that will stay with you
long after you finish it" (theSkimm), The Half Moon takes place
over the course of one week when Malcolm learns shocking news about
Jess, a patron of the bar goes missing, and a blizzard hits the
town of Gillam, trapping everyone in place. With a deft eye and
generous spirit, Mary Beth Keane explores the disappointments and
unexpected consolations of midlife, the many forms forgiveness can
take, the complicated intimacy of small-town living, and what it
means to be a family.

Comedy starring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson as three
men in different stages of life competing to become champion
birdwatchers. Stu (Martin) is a successful business executive on
the brink of retirement. Brad (Black), the youngest of the three,
works as a computer programmer but lacks direction and focus in his
life. Meanwhile, the obsessive and unscrupulous Kenny (Wilson) will
stop at nothing to hold onto his title of World's Greatest Birder.
As they travel the length and breadth of North America as
participants of the 'Big Year' competition, in which birders
compete to spot the greatest number of bird species in the United
States over the course of one year, the three men discover as much
about themselves and each other as they do about America's bird
population.
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.
