How the Deer Moon Hungers

"From the impeccable world building to the strong plot points and the sophistication in character, Susan Wingate weaves a yarn that is absorbing, balanced, and deft. It is twisty and unpredictable. The strong opening pulls the reader in and plunges them into the world of Mac and Tess, characters that are memorable. The tension grows in intensity as the conflict deepens, escalating to a surprising denouement. It is nothing short of a page-turner." ―The Book Commentary"A girl comes into her own following a tragedy in Susan Wingate's poignant novel." ―Foreword Clarion Reviews

"From the ashes rises the phoenix. As a family descends into an abyss of pain, so Mackenzie fights to discover her own way out of the overwhelming circumstances of her sibling's death. Wingate is gifted at capturing these shifting nuances as events continue to pull characters apart and put them back together like puzzles, albeit in a different way. HOW THE DEER MOON HUNGERS carries the reader through this process, creating a powerful and memorable saga that is hard to put down and lingers in the mind long after the story is over." -Diane Donovan, Senior Editor, Midwest Book Review
