Orphan Moon

Thought-provoking and fun to read, Orphan Moon confirms humility as both attainable and revelatory while pride, humility's antagonist, breeds ignorance. The book allows bloodlines and family traits spanning six generations to touch in the persons of Joseph Beaumont and Willie Earl Jeffers.
Joseph is a self- described Texan, keeper of treasures, and reader of books. He has a rare listening ear and quiet wisdom and becomes a mentor of sorts to the inquisitive adolescent. The awakening of the boy's consciousness of heritage while remaining unsure of its relevance or worth provides the backdrop to challenges and adventures of the 1960's family clan.
Willie Earl is to learn that life, legacy, and spirituality blend together nicely in accord, even as his unlikely Texas tutor, the eccentric Joseph, realizes his own healing.
