moon white: color me enchanted
"All spirituality is good, right?"
So says Heather, a teenage girl-next-door who has recently begun studying new age ideas. But her
newfound curiosity is alienating her from others, including a judgmental best friend who has
written her off as a witch.
Isolated and lonely, Heather soon encounters fellow seekers, including her new stepmother,
who are far more accepting and encouraging than her Christian friends.
Yet she soon learns that her 'harmless' spiritual journey is anything but. As she falls more
deeply into the occult, Heather endures shocking betrayals, but discovers hope in a long-lost
letter that reconnects her to the truth she's been seeking.

IRELAND
It's pretty humiliating to admit, but I've never flown in a plane before today. So wouldn't you think that I'd be feeling pretty jazzed right now? Instead I keep grabbing onto these armrests as I ask myself why on earth I ever agreed to come on this frightening trip.…
Affectionately teased as a "country bumpkin," nineteen year-old Maddie has never been one to explore new territory. Her first trip outside of the country with her Aunt Sid and Sid's godson, Ryan, promises an exhilarating adventure. Northern Ireland is more captivating than she even imagined–and Ryan is offering plenty of intrigue himself.
As Aunt Sid researches peace camps, Maddie and Ryan explore Ireland's rich landscape. During the journey, Maddie begins to discover more about what she wants from life, while developing a deeper friendship with her irresistible traveling companion.
When Maddie and Ryan dig for the truth about the IRA car bomb that killed Ryan's father years ago, questions about the past accumulate. Unable to let go of growing suspicions in this mysterious country, Maddie finds herself on a dangerous journey, a journey that will lead her to the greatest discovery of all.
