Moon women

the long version

Ruth Ann Moon's life has just taken a turn for which she isn't quite prepared. Divorced, alone, and set in her ways, Ruth Ann reluctantly agrees to take in her 19-year-old daughter, Ashley, who is just out of rehab. On their trip home from the rehab hospital, as Ashley breaks the news to her mother that she is three months pregnant, they find Marvelle, Ruth Ann's mother, in the middle of the street. Now into her eighties, Marvelle is losing her grip on reality and demanding to live with Ruth Ann. Cornered, Ruth Ann agrees, and now three strong-willed, independent women are about to live under one roof. So begins the saga of three generations of Moon women as they adjust to the new stages in their lives--Ashley, unmarried and pregnant; Ruth Ann, no longer living alone and hounded by an ex-husband who wants her back; and Marvelle, coming to the end of her life and holding a secret that could affect them all.
