In New Moon Rising, Eugenia Price gives us a story of faith and courage that follows the struggle of James Gould's son Horace to find his own place in life. Reaching manhood in the tumultuous years before the Civil War, Horace returns to St. Simons and finds himself disheartened by the intolerance on his beloved island. However, he wins the heart of lovely neighbor Deborah Abbott, who adores her "Mr. Gould" and becomes his wife, despite the difference in their years. She is not concerned with his rumored past, but she is saddened by his lack of faith.

Filled with romance, hardship, and adventure, this sequel to Lighthouse vividly portrays the antebellum South while revealing an independent man's search for happiness.

Her Island

Another great book for Ms. Price. Read the book in two days. Her story telling has a way of pulling the reader into the story. After reading the St. Simon Trilogy my future visits to her island will have a new meaning for me. I have gone to St Simon's for the last five summers and I always felt so at peace once I got there, I feel that is how she must have felt. It is the most calming and restful place I have ever visited. And after reading her books I can see how she felt. I can hardly want until next summer.

New Moon Rising

It was very intriguing, I felt that it gave a lot of information about the time of the Civil War. I liked the series, how it is about the family and continues their lives.

An "ok" book

Since I like Civil War history, New Moon Rising was an "ok" book. But you would have to like Civil War history to even pick this book up. Because if your looking for a good romance novel this is not the book to read, because there's not much in the romance department in, New Moon Rising. But like I said, it was a fairly good book if you enjoy Civil War history.

not as a follow-up to Lighthouse

As a sequel to Lighthouse, New Moon Rising is not nearly as compelling, but it is still a good story about Horace Gould, James's son, and Deborah, the woman he is in love with. Just not as simple as Lighthouse, and that doesn't work in Moon's favor. The forging of the plantation Black Banks is interesting, but with this book, Price doesn't jump the hurdle of the Civil War with nearly as much interesting storytelling as she did in "Margaret's Story." Read if you liked Lighthouse, but maybe before you read Lighthouse.
