Review
Not since Gone with the Wind has a book told the Souths story in the way that New Moon Rising does. Miss Price has a feeling for the land, for its beauty and its secrets. -- Book News
This is more than a Civil War novel, more than a romance, more than an adventure story. . .This is a novel even for those who don't read fiction, a historical drama for those whom history bores, and a revelation of insights for those who pooh-pooh psychology. This is a book to be read, without qualification. -- Cincinnati Inquirer --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description
As a part of the Eugenia Price Commemorative Edition, the historical fiction New Moon Rising is being rereleased after two and a half years of absence from store bookshelves. New Moon Rising is the second novel in the classic St. Simons Trilogy. In this sequel to Lighthouse, Price tells a story of faith and courage that follows the struggle of James Goulds son Horace to find his own place in life. Reaching manhood in the tumultuous years before the Civil War, Horace returns to St. Simons and finds himself disheartened by the intolerance on his beloved island. However, he wins the heart of lovely neighbor Deborah Abbott, who adores her Mr. Gould and becomes his wife, despite the difference in their years. She is not concerned with his rumored past, but she is saddened by his lack of faith. Filled with romance, hardship, and adventure, this sequel to Lighthouse vividly portrays the antebellum South while revealing an independent man's search for happiness.
Price's nonfiction books, such as Discoveries, The Burden Is Light, and Early Will I Seek Thee, gained her popularity across the nation and across all denominational lines. In rapid succession she wrote books dealing with Christian living, womens faith perspectives, and devotional themes. The faith of the characters in her novels made the books popular with the established readers of her nonfiction and inspirational books. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Her Island,
By
This review is from: New Moon Rising (St. Simons Trilogy, Vol. 2) (The St. Simons Trilogy) (Paperback)
Another great book for Ms. Price. Read the book in two days. Her story telling has a way of pulling the reader into the story. After reading the St. Simon Trilogy my future visits to her island will have a new meaning for me. I have gone to St Simon's for the last five summers and I always felt so at peace once I got there, I feel that is how she must have felt. It is the most calming and restful place I have ever visited. And after reading her books I can see how she felt. I can hardly want until next summer.

An "ok" book,
By "heather34" (Sugar Land, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Moon Rising (St. Simons Trilogy, Vol. 2) (The St. Simons Trilogy) (Paperback)
Since I like Civil War history, New Moon Rising was an "ok" book. But you would have to like Civil War history to even pick this book up. Because if your looking for a good romance novel this is not the book to read, because there's not much in the romance department in, New Moon Rising. But like I said, it was a fairly good book if you enjoy Civil War history.

New Moon Rising,
By A Customer
This review is from: New Moon Rising (St. Simons Trilogy, Vol. 2) (The St. Simons Trilogy) (Paperback)
It was very intriguing, I felt that it gave a lot of information about the time of the Civil War. I liked the series, how it is about the family and continues their lives.
