“An unlikely friendship is formed when two painters decide to risk everything for their art. Surprising, tender, and wise, this is a book you don’t want to miss.”
“Fresh, imaginative, and gorgeously written. Moore is a virtuoso storyteller, and this is her best work yet.”
A Woman’s Guide to Search & Rescue explores the unexpected gift of found family in times of loss and tragedy, the forging of a new relationship between two related strangers, and the realization, by three women of different generations, that by saving each other, they save themselves.
“Moore deftly explores and develops relationship dynamics, both familial and romantic, and what someone is willing to do and forgive for the people they care about.”
—Publisher’s Weekly/Booklife
When a serious accident changes the dynamics of a family’s lake vacation, putting her young brother in a coma, Molly Fisher is outcast from her parents’ affection as they struggle with their own sorrow. Unexpectedly, she becomes the rescuer of them all, forging a new relationship not only with her gifted, difficult parents, but with her own qualities of light and darkness.
“Moore traces the contours of shadow without ever letting us forget the transformative power of light.”
—Kaethe Schwehn, author of The Rending and the Nest
