Plot Summary of Moon Night
"Urban Keefe and Tara are transported from a murder scene in the rural Ozarks back to the same spot in 1884, into the bodies of a much younger farm couple. As they struggle to survive on a subsistence farm, among neighbors who've known them from childhood as Nels and Ivy, they also must elude a killer, and deal with a frustrating 'taboo.' "
C. J. Winters, Resident Scholar
