Memphis Moon - Hardcover

by Matthew M. Watkins (Author)

Memphis Moon is a fast-paced historical thriller set against the volatile backdrop of the Civil War.

At the center of the story are Virginia "Ginnie" Moon and her sister Lottie, names long associated with quiet defiance and whispered allegiance to the Confederacy. But the truth behind their story is far more complex than history suggests.

Raised in Oxford, Ohio, in a household tied to both North and South, Ginnie never intended to be drawn into a world of secrets and shifting loyalties. Yet after a sudden turn of events uproots her life and leads her to Memphis, she finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of deception, one that will test her courage, identity, and resolve.

Bound to her past is Caleb Dawkins, a young miller from Virginia, whose path seems destined to collide with hers despite the chaos of a nation at war. As distance, duty, and circumstance pull them apart, both must navigate a landscape where trust is fragile and survival comes at a cost.

Blending history with fiction, Memphis Moon reimagines a legendary story where truth is uncertain, loyalties are divided, and nothing unfolds as expected.
