Blue Moon Over Martinsburg: (Book I) Blue Moon Over Martinsburg Series

Tami Cox

As a fourteen year old girl, Molly Snyder shared the most important kiss in a girl's life with country boy, Boone O'Toole. A native Pennsylvanian invited to spend the summer with a favorite cousin in a small town just outside of Martinsburg, West Virginia--a town where neighbors are more like extended family--Molly meets her first love. Set in the 1970s, a more innocent decade for young love and a decade when drug experimentation begins to plague our public schools and Boone's life--eventually leading to his cocaine addiction. A coming of age story, this is the first book in a trilogy that takes the reader through the couple's teen years into adulthood-both facing many adversities along the way: heartbreak and melodrama only teens experience, guilt over the death of a cherished friend, and serious obstacles to their relationship due to Boone's secrets over his addiction. Full of old fashioned values, southern charm, warm loving characters, romance, betrayal, addiction, joy, and heartache. Boone's bad behavior and slavery to his addiction cause a whirlwind of heartbreak for the woman he loves most in this world but upon turning the final page, the reader will yearn for more of the heartwarming couple.
