Sharon Struth has woven a tale of suspicion, mystery and the complete emotional breakdown of two people searching for love and restoration of their past lives. The plot is refreshing and will definitely keep the reader turning page after page. SHARE THE MOON is the first I have had the pleasure of reading by this Sharon Struth but will not be the last. SHARE THE MOON is a book that restores faith in human nature and the ability to again find love.
