A FACE IN THE MOON is a look back at those lost days when
colors seemed more vivid and when being in love seemed the
only thing that mattered. The narrator, Jack Lohman, is an
inexperienced twenty-two-year old, who was recently dumped
by his first real girlfriend, and is soon to leave
graduate school for who knows what. Enter Loni, a bright-
eyed, free-spirited seventeen-year old who has had more
than her share of experience -- she lost her virginity on
her fourteenth birthday, has had more boyfriends and drugs
than she cares to remember, as well as a nervous breakdown
that she’s trying her best to forget. From the moment Jack
meets Loni, his life begins to change. She teaches him how
to laugh, and makes him feel, for perhaps the first time
in his life, that he can be loved without judgment. Yet,
ironically, it is Loni's harsh self-evaluation that
paralyzes her at times, turning the carefree, uninhibited
woman/child into a speechless, listless teenager who
laments the days when life used to be more fun. She
promises to tell Jack some day about her breakdown of the
summer before but for now it’s still too painful for her.
Meanwhile, Jack loves her, but wonders if she’ll ever
fully let him into her life. A FACE IN THE MOON is a story
about two young lovers struggling to find each other and
their ways in the world. And when a series of events keeps
them apart longer than expected, it becomes the story of
whether their new love can survive the pressures of
separation and madness.
