A Summer for Moths - by Henry Rivers (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A Summer for Moths is the ballad of Booth Baker -- working musician and songwriter hiding out in the guise of a handyman and running from childhood trauma.

Haunted by his toxic southern upbringing and a death in high school that forced him to flee his hometown, Booth must confront and deal with the trauma of his past before finding a stable home in the future.

When Booth receives the call from his estranged brother with a summer job offer helping maintain rental properties along the coast of Connecticut, he's thrust into the secret world of the "Gold Coast." Meeting Abby Evers one day on a roofing job, Booth is transfixed, leading him to declare that a woman like Abby is "visible wonder." His desire brings him, moth-like, closer to the flames. He soon learns that Abby's husband Sam and his business partners operate a secret circle of abuse, and deadly. Unable to leave Abby to these monsters, Booth endeavors to help expose the abusers all while placing his own life and future with Abby on the line.
