The Big Beautiful
In this sequel to Moon Women (2001), Duncan serves up the heartfelt if slow-moving story of Cassandra Moon, the little sister who has grown up some, but still has a ways to go. The novel opens on Cassandra's wedding day, which sees Cassandra dashing from the church and speeding away alone in the limo as her intended and family gawk. Fleeing her stifling hometown in mountainous western North Carolina, Cassandra motors east in the limo, winding up in Salter Path, a sleepy beach community where she connects with who she really is and finds, naturally, her true love. Duncan has a way with the pretty passages and sweet moments readers of inspirational women's fiction crave.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
