About Daytime Moon
Isa has spent years running from her past until her brother’s sudden arrival in New York City calls her back to the California desert she fled. Amid drag races by the Salton Sea and echoes of her lost twin, Isa confronts family secrets and a dying father figure’s final revelations. Traveling up and down California highways, through desert and forest, roaring coastline and border towns, Isa will follow the signs so delicately woven into the fabric of her life—a name, a constellation, a painting, a gleam of recognition on the water’s surface. If she can piece them together, she just might reunite the shattered remains of her beloved family. Artfully narrated, Daytime Moon is an unforgettable journey through hidden stories, the shimmering fluidity of memory, the depths of women's secrets, and the magic of transmutation.
