Originally published by Naiad Press 1997. Her talent is raw, but there are no limits on her determination to succeed. Born in a coal mine town and with a talent for song, her life is filled with the sweet harmonies of gospel and bluegrass - and love of the preacher's daughter. Lambda Literary Award-winner Julia Watts takes readers on an inspiring journey filled with passion, humor and undaunted artistic spirit in Phases of the Moon.

A Customer said Glenda Mooneywhew. After I read Piece of my Heart, i had to find another Julia Watts book. This book is about finding ones self through love, music, friendships, and pain. Glenda Mooney is one fiesty person who has no idea about life beyond the coal mines, but finds out that it isn't what she dreamed it would beor is it? The true friendships with some of the characters is what made this book a true romance.
