What happens when love turns to hate, and the person you thought you knew was everything you feared? Gabe Blanchard now deeply regretted reading the shocking truths that his godmother, Holly Morgan, revealed in her detailed diaries: secrets about his parent's past; the true nature of his own inheritance of Greystones, and the miscarriage of justice that sowed the seeds of his mother's final destruction. As Gabe begins to read Holly's detailed journals, he is transported to the day in 1945 when his godmother and her sister Eva leave their dysfunctional family home in Cape Town, South Africa, to work on a Christian Mission in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). There are many things he does not know about his godmother, but there is even more that he does not know about his own family, things he has no desire to know, but like a spectator at a train wreck, he can't look away. He learns about the people Holly meets at the mission; the people who change her life and her outlook, and her love and obsession with Tony, the handsome and articulate Air Force Lieutenant. Who is Tony, really? Is he an adventurer with only a passing acquaintance with truth, or is he sincere and all he appears to be? And there is Avril: a beautiful and sophisticated mission employee, who is everything Holly is not. Can she be a real friend to Holly, and what is her relationship with Tony? Can Holly trust her? Majozi, the Nganga (herbalist) is a boon to his people, but is he for real-does his warning to Holly go unheeded. And Eva: will she find her own happiness away from the influence of their parents, or is she destined for heartbreak, too. As Holly recounts her feelings and thoughts about what is occurring, she must also deal with her alcoholic father and neurotic mother who follow their daughters to the new country. Talk to the Moon is a story of human relationships and the greed that leads to tragedy and murder. It is also a story about the roots of racial injustice that set the stage for the war of Independence. The country of Rhodesia no longer exists in its original form-if it ever had one. It has always been a country of shifting political tides and Talk to the Moon captures a brief period of the Camelot Days as a Dominion of Britain as seen through the eyes of a young and naive white girl."
