From the Back Cover

A rich and riveting tale of love, hardship, and the journey for happiness in the war-torn South.
In "New Moon Rising," Eugenia Price gives us a story of faith and courage that follows the struggle of James Gould's son Horace to find his own place in life. Reaching manhood in the tumultuous years before the Civil War, Horace returns to St. Simons and finds himself disheartened by the intolerance on his beloved island. However, he wins the heart of lovely neighbor Deborah Abbott, who adores her "Mr. Gould" and becomes his wife, despite the difference in their years. She is not concerned with his rumored past, but she is saddened by his lack of faith. Filled with romance, hardship, and adventure, this sequel to "Lighthouse" vividly portrays the antebellum South while revealing an independent man's search for happiness.
