Remember The Moon
A Novel
The Lovely Bones meets Ghost, Remember The Moon is an inspiring story of everlasting love that reaches far beyond the grave. Jay is a successful businessman, husband, and father. His sudden death leaves his wife, Maya, hollow with grief, and their seven-year-old son, Calder, spins destructively out of control. With help from a spirited afterlife therapist, Jay revisits his past, discovering hard truths about himself and the world he left behind. He attempts to comfort Maya and Calder in their grief while discovering his true “spirit” self. When Maya hires a psychic to communicate with him, Jay learns her darkest secret and in his shock, inadvertently sends her on a path of ill-fated romance. Confronted with the decision to either follow his mortal instincts or help his wife find love, Jay must learn to transcend everything he ever was.
Remember The Moon came as a result of imaging my husband Arron in the afterlife, which to me was a funny thought, and then a chance meeting with psychic Lisa K. Fox turned into a friendship and our sessions became fodder for the book. You can read more about my meeting and subsequent sessions with Lisa on my blog.
What people have said about Remember The Moon
This is a truly sweet story, with protagonists who are imperfect, caring, and thoroughly human. There are moments of great tenderness throughout the book, and Carter's evocative writing brings them to vivid life. The love affair between Jay and Maya is told in flashbacks, giving color to their present experiences, especially to their separate views of Jay's rival, Marcus. Calder is a believable kid, lovable but sometimes trying, struggling with hard times but demonstrating an appealing youthful resilience. All three family members - and Marcus, too - visibly grow during the book, and their relationships, while strained, are not broken entirely by Jay's death. REMEMBER THE MOON is a touching and intimate look at the bonds that last beyond death, and the generosity of spirit needed to truly love another person.
