Moon Child - Jolie's Story
Moon Trilogy, Book 2
#Life
MOON CHILD honors those who own their life. It tells the engrossing story of Jolie, abandoned as an infant and adopted by Phil and Stella Gold on their way to a new life in glamorous Beverly Hills. Forever reminded by a father who beats her and trades in sex and a mother who exploits her, that she is adopted, the young girl is determined to follow the dictates of her heart. She withstands the beatings and abuse, yearning to be free from her adoptive parents and their expectations of her. She finally breaks away from them and begins her search for her biological parents. In so doing, she discovers the unexpected.
Involved in some less-than-ideal situations along her journey to self-discovery as she
searches for her birth parents, she experiences variations of a life without true meaning until she finds her path. In sharp contrast to Layla in Persian Moon who allows others to dictate her life, Jolie highlights the pro-active woman who takes charge of her life. Jolie is determined to forge her own path and make her own life choices.
MOON CHILD ~ Jolie’s Story is a story of determination and personal renewal. It tells of the power of hope and courage in the face of heartache and disappointment, the
resilience of the human spirit, and what a strong will can do when faced with challenges.
Although Layla is portrayed as Iranian, and Jolie as American, the difference is not in our country of birth, but rather often in ourselves. Life is precious and Jolie is the personification of all women who refuse to give up power over their lives.
Women. Life. Freedom.
