Customer Reviews for Revell Slow Moon Rising, Cedar Key Series #3
Revell Slow Moon Rising, Cedar Key Series #3
Cedar Key has long been a place of rest, healing, and release in the Claybourne family. But it might also be the birthplace of a lie that is poisoning the family from within. Join the strong Claybourne women-Anise, Kimberly, Jayme-Leigh, Heather, and Ami-as they each confront the truth. Their unique paths will lead them through heartbreak, misunderstandings, and pain. But their journeys will also bring reconciliation with each other and renewed love in their own lives.

I have been reading Eva Marie Everson's Cedar Key series of novels since she began writing them, and have loved each one. A good author friend of mine told me about Cedar Key, Florida many years ago and made it sound so delightful I was ready to jump on the next plane and plant myself there to do nothing but write. But, so far I've not yet made the trip. At least by reading this series, I've been able to vicariously enjoy the setting through Eva Marie's wonderful characters.
I jumped at the chance to review her latest -- Slow Moon Rising. But when it arrived I was in the middle of a number of writing projects and other things and had to put the book on my to-be-read pile. When I realized a few days ago that the blog tour was this week, I made myself take time to start reading and I'm better than halfway through it. I only wish I could just sit for a whole day and do nothing but read. It's that good!
The only complaint I have is that the first couple chapters were a little too slow-paced for my taste. But having read many of Everson's books, I had faith that the pacing would pick up, and it did. If you find this small nit-picky point to be the case with you, hang in there because the best is yet to be!
Note that I received a complementary copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

The luscious cover on this book is what first caught my attention, the family epic inside is what held it.
Slow Moon Rising does not falter once through all its 376 pages of story.
Slow Moon Rising does not falter once through all its 376 pages of story.
I am left wondering: who is the woman in white alone on this sunset beach? It could be any of the women whose stories are revealed inside the cover...
It could be Anise, who fell in love with a newly widowed man over 20 years her senior. She married Ross Claybourne, and grew to love his four daughters even they rejected her and resented her place in their father's life.
The woman could be Kimberly, the Clayburne's eldest daughter, with her two sons and her broken heart...
Or she could be Jayme-Leigh, the next girl, who became a physician like her father.
She could be Heather, who may understand better than anyone what their mother Joan went through...
Or she could be Ami, the youngest Claybourne, whose story is achingly sad with the potential to be stunningly beautiful. Ami, who carried a secret for the longest time.
The woman in white might even be Rosa, a woman who lives in Cedar Key and who is part of this story in a way the four daughters never expected her to be.
These are the women of this book, all of whom experience both wounding and the beginning of healing.

These are the women of this book, all of whom experience both wounding and the beginning of healing.
This novel is a tapestry, woven full of experiences that make up life, events and changes and trials that every woman has encountered at some time in her pilgrimage on earth. I think the phrase "a book like a river" describes this one well. There are many currents under the suface, all braiding together, there is a journey that the story is taking, and the pull of the flowing writing sweeps you away. Yes, a river is a good metaphor for this book.
I like the way that the point of view transitions from one woman to another through the chapters, so as you read you are allowed to see inside their world and to look out with their eyes.
As I read Slow Moon Rising I found that I really cared about all of the women here...I am so glad I got to meet them!

Review 3 for Slow Moon Rising, Cedar Key Series #3
Overall Rating:
One of My Favorites!
Date:June 16, 2013
This is without a doubt one of my favorite novels! How I hated to have it end. Complex characters are written so well that their experiences could be true.
The story is told from the first-person viewpoint of five different Claybourne women. Rather than the usual way of repeating the same scene over and over from a different angle; therefore, the timeline advances down through the years as each person shares. The novel begins in the year 2000 and concludes with the current day. I loved piecing the story together. I did not want to to put this one down as long-kept family secrets are revealed.
Here is your summer read. Don't miss this compelling Christian novel.
Thank you to Donna Hausler for my copy. Available June 2013 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.

Cedar Key, the family beach house where summer and holiday memories are made, calls the Claybourne family back together and provides a comfortable atmosphere for some difficult and also some happy occasions. The third and final book in the Cedar Key series is a well written novel about complex characters (most notably four sisters) whose family secrets threaten their relationships. Restoration comes when problems are acknowledged and help ... godly counsel, prayer, financial, etc. ... is accepted. Learning to accept and assist each other is part of the family dynamics that make up this novel. Even with the difficulties addressed in this book, it's entertaining and draws you in so you can't put it down until you've finished reading it. Loose ends were tied up in a concise and satisfactory manner.
