Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the
summer of 1969,
Moon Water finds Nettie, 16, with her boyfriend wanting to
breakup just as they are figuring out the sex thing.
Nettie’s lifelong nemesis is jabbing her with perfectly
polished nails, while her hellfire and brimstone preacher
refuses to baptize her. Amid this turmoil, a Monacan Indian
medicine woman gives her a cryptic message about a coming
darkness, a blood moon whose veiled danger threatens Nettie
and those she loves. To prepare for the darkness, Nettie
and her best friend, Win, make a treacherous journey into
the mountains to build a mysterious dreamcatcher of ancient
elements.
