My Review - Under the Blackberry Moon


UNDER A BLACKBERRY MOON by Serena B. Miller, is a unique novel filled with tenderness, grace, determination, and the story of love conquering all. 

Moon Song has come a long way from the day she stumbled into a Lumber camp seeking refuge from the harshness of winter, after giving birth alone and on her own.  But now it is time for her to go back to her people.  And, because of the fondness the camp owners have for Moon Song, they have asked their trusted friend Skypilot to see her safely home. 

After a major disaster, Moon Song and Skypilot must make their way several miles by foot to civilization. Along this journey their feelings for each other begin to grow into something more than fondness.  Skypilot is convinced he’s in love with Moon Song and tries to convince her of the same.  But, because of the betrayal of white men to both her and her mother, Moon Song is convinced Skypilot will one day leave her and because of that she refuses to give him her heart, even though he already possess it.  After delivering Moon Song safely to her people, Skypilot tries once more to convince her he wants to stay with her and prove his love.  She refuses.  Realizing there is only one way to prove his love, Skypilot sets out on a life altering journey, praying that his path will cross Moon Song’s once again.

I really enjoyed UNDER A BLACKBERRY MOON.  The story felt fresh and unique but my heart ached as the story read as a review of American history and the mistreatment of the Native American people.  The secondary characters added depth and color to an already rich story.  And as previously stated it was the epitome of love conquering all.

Available October 2013 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.
