In her Grandmother's jewellry shop, sixteen-year-old Oriana Dubois, is aware of something terrible playing out in the shadows. Who are the Order of the Scorpion and what do they want with her? But most of all, what is the significance of the moonstone her grandmother says is Oriana's but which is kept in a locked box? In a journey that winds from the port of La Rochelle to the exotic Ottoman markets of Constantinople, the quest of the Keepers of the Moon will keep you guessing until the very last page.

The story behind this book is very real and close to my family's heart. My husband’s brother was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and passed away ten years ago. He was a first-grade teacher and was the person our kids looked up to the most. It was hard for them to understand how someone so healthy and vibrant and full of life could get so sick so fast and then leave them. As we all watched his health decline and his bubbly personality dwindle, our youngest began to ask questions. Our oldest was just mad. It had only been a year since he had lost his grandma. So I began to describe the heart like it was a person that worked hard to keep him with us . Finally, God speaks to the heart, telling it that it is ok to give him up. God would take him home to heaven and make him well again. This explanation was easier for them to grasp and seemed to suffice. And so began the journey to My Favorite Place to Be. My goal for this book is to help other children better understand and cope with losing a loved one. It's always been important to me that my kids know that when someone we love dies, it's not the last time we will ever see them. They take comfort in knowing that we will all be together someday in heaven, everyone's favorite place to be.

Excerpt from The House of Broken Dreams: A MemoryIT was in the morning, towards noontide, when you came. The dawn flushed across a beauteous world where soft airs blew; the breath of violets was everywhere; crystal dewdrops sparkled on the lawn; the birds sang in merry chorus from the bougainvillea outside our window. And it was, oh, how heavenly dear and glad the day!Soft footsteps moved in the shadowy room, kind hands fulfilled their gentle offices, and presently your little lonely cry rang out, the cry of the firstborn.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
