A Moon to Dance By
By Thom Thomas. On the eve of World War II, an English aristocrat travels to the New Mexico desert to visit the mother who abandoned him in his youth, a German woman unconstrained by convention but controlling of those around her. As they engage in a ceremonial dance of nostalgia and longing, forgiveness may prove out of step. Or can their native spirits bring forth an outpouring of love?
