The incredible story of an American girl's survival during World War II. 1941. War. It's coming. It takes your father. It takes your mother. Life will never be the same. Not for Lou Davis. When fog requires Japanese dignitaries to reroute their flight from San Francisco to Claret Lake, fourteen-year-old Lou becomes suspicious about the direction of the war. Two weeks later her dreams of becoming a pilot are ripped away when Pearl Harbor is attacked and an error in the 1940 census results in every male over eighteen being drafted and all the women being forced to work in factories on the coast. Lou and her asthma are left behind-and in charge. She has a secret crush on the oldest boy left in Claret Lake, but after her parents are ripped away from her, she feels alone and abandoned. Running a town full of unruly kids is worse than a full-blown asthma attack, and the only thing she sees looming on the horizon is the enemy's plane and a boatload of disaster. How is she supposed to save a whole town when harsh winters descend, food becomes scarce, and the enemy threatens to destroy everything she has fought so hard to protect? Then Lou remembers the ancient legend...the legend of the moon tears. Staking her town's survival on lore from the past, she channels her inner Amelia Earhart and takes off toward an unknown future. Inspired by true events, Moon Tears is a coming-of-age tale-a tale of war, a tale of loss, a tale of survival.About the Author: M. M. Frische is a writer, speaker, professional photographer, and travel buff, having explored all fifty states and journeyed around the world. She has been fascinated with World War II stories since childhood when she would sit and listen for hours on end to her great-uncle's tales of parachuting into Normandy the night before D-Day. Many years later, she met another cousin and discovered an entirely new set of stories about the war which inspired Moon Tears, her first novel. Having been a reluctant reader in her youth, she was excited to discover (many years later) that she had only been covering up her true love of reading and now finds it hard to put down a book. She lives in Texas with her husband. Please visit her website at www.tenstorybooks.com.
