BOOK REVIEW: Moonshadow by Joy Lynn Goddard

                      Moonshadow by Joy Goddard

Lauren Prescott’s family secrets were buried long before she was born, during the sixties era when her great-grandparents took in a runaway girl from an Indian residential school. Her ailing grandfather, who was a teenager back then, now longs to find the girl—Rose Hill—to right a wrong before he dies. He’s ashamed of how he treated her because he recoiled from the racist climate of colonialism of the time. Haunted by the past, Lauren risks everything to go after the truth for her grandfather—even her life! 


My Review of Moonshadow:

Wow...I thought I was reading a well-written, character driven mystery about a young woman who went to stay with her terminally ill grandfather in a cottage by the river in Canada and deal with a dysfunctional family and a gripping mystery. What I got was a glimpse into the horrifying treatment of Native American children in North America as late as the 1960s. My heart broke for Rose, the Native American girl at the “heart” of the story. Every white middle class person needs to read this. It will burst your bubble of ignorance about this shameful period in our history. A Mystery with a Lesson
