Publisher's Synopsis
It is often said that the course of true love never runs smooth. This is certainly the case in the love affair of Cooper and Sally Moon. From the moment she fell in love with Cooper Moon, Sally learned that holding onto the most attractive man in town is never easy. Now, despite a long history of infidelity, in a life-altering moment, Cooper suddenly vows to change his ways. His decision will not only change Sally's life, but will also have wide-ranging consequences for the entire town. Filled with an unforgettable cast of characters you are sure to love (and maybe a couple to hate), the story of Cooper Moon will capture your heart from the first page. It is a story about undying love, the many faces of faith, and the many consequences of a single decision.

Cooper Moon: The Calling Cooper Moon: The Temptation Cooper Moon: The Fall Cooper Moon: The Grace EDITORIAL REVIEWS "At its core, this is a story about class, karma and ordinary people trying to accomplish difficult goals that require extraordinary strength of body, mind and spirit... a strong, engaging voice ... A satisfying, feel-good novel about human shortcomings, perseverance and serendipity." Kirkus Reviews "Readers be warned - this book is addictive. Every now and then I come across a book that refuses to be set aside. A book that has me thinking, 'I can throw a TV dinner in the microwave for the family.' A book that I read while everyone else in the room is watching one of my favorite television shows. A book that lingers on the edge of my consciousness until I finish the last sentence. Cooper Moon: The Calling by Cheryl Shireman is just such a book." Paula K. Parker of H.J. Live. "Ms. Shireman solidly grounds her characters with sincerity and strong personality. There was not a character described that I didn't feel I knew personally by the end of the book....I cannot give it enough good press. Love, love, love it!" Charlene Mabie-Gamble of Literary R & R "Enter a cast of characters that are so interesting, so unique-and yet so like yourself and people you know-you won't want to stop turning the pages. Author Cheryl Shireman is a master at creating intrigue through her characters." Carolyn Warren
