Sun and the Moon

A fierce and lyrical novel about a young woman who returns to her hometown and must come to terms with the memory of a tragic fire that occurred years earlier—and the boy accused of setting it. Five years ago, a horrific fire burned the Apollo Theater to the ground. The town of Honeyville labeled it a tragedy, and no one was ever charged with the crime. But everyone still has their own theories. For then-seventeen-year-old Jude Andrews, the fire stole her future. She was the Apollo’s star, and on the night of the fire, she was supposed to make her debut as the lead in a production of Romeo & Juliet. Instead, she watched the theater—and her dreams—turn to ash. The accused? Her Romeo, the boy she loved: Callum Ramsey. Now, after years of estrangement from her family and her town, Jude is back in Honeyville, and she’s determined to discover the truth about the fire and clear the name of the boy she once knew. But the town hasn’t moved on. And as Jude pulls at the threads of the past, she begins to untangle a web of secrets, lies, and betrayal that challenges everything she thought she knew about her family, her friends, and herself. The truth is far more complicated—and dangerous—than she ever imagined.
