I’ll Watch The Moon, by Ann Tatlock

When polio stalked Minnesota in 1948, fear was every mother’s constant companion, as Tatlock (All the Way Home) shows in this well-written story for the evangelical Christian market. Young Nova Tierney and her older brother, Dewey, live a mostly idyllic life despite sharing living space with a motley assortment of tenants at the boarding house run by their Aunt Dortha and mother, Catherine. Dewey, nicknamed “Galileo” for his love of astronomy, dreams of some day walking on the moon, and he and Nova spend many happy hours looking at the night sky together in their backyard. When Dewey is hospitalized with polio, Nova promises to watch the moon for him (thus the title) until he is well. But will he recover? In her bitterness over a childhood secret, her late husband’s infidelity and her son’s desperate illness, his mother turns her back on God. “Sometimes, I wonder how we all go on living,” she muses. Hope begins to return when she strikes up a friendship with boarder and Auschwitz survivor Josef Karski. Meanwhile, Nova exchanges letters with her brother and dreams of having a father again. She takes comfort in the stars: “as long as the moon was in its place and the stars were burning and the planets were moving through their spheres… everything was all right.” This beautiful story laced with hope, redemption and forgiveness should find wide appeal among CBA readers.

A Room of My Own (Legacy Editions), by Ann Tatlock

“…this is a lovely story, unquestionably.” – Booklist, starred review

“…brings the Depression era to life.” – Library Journal

“…a well-crafted tale…infused with grace.” – Skyway News

“This remarkable coming-of-age story chronicles the Great Depression’s impact on a young girl’s spiritual maturity. Set in Minnesota in 1932, the story unfolds as 13-year-old Virginia describes her family’s life, irreparably changed by the Depression. Virginia becomes acutely aware of the Nation’s financial turmoil when her father, a doctor, asks her to accompany him to Soo City, the ramshackle shantytown outside the city limits. Virginia gains new perspectives on dignity, humility, compassion, and love when she meets the inhabitants, who’ve lost jobs and property. In this seamless and well-researched narrative, Tatlock provides a compelling look at the Depression through a child’s eyes. At the same time, she accurately conveys the exuberance, naivety, humor, and optimism typical of young teens. Historical details are informative and entertaining. The book’s characters have unusual depth, and the author’s riveting style makes reading this story a memorable experience for teenagers and adults alike.” - Susan Dunman, CBA Marketplace

“Some novels are well written. Some convey an important message. A Room of My Own shines both for its content and the loving, sensitive way it is conveyed. Writer Ann Tatlock vividly transports readers to the summer of 1932 and the comfortable world of 13-year-old Virginia Eide. Still largely untouched by the Great Depression, Virginia’s life revolves around her loving, prosperous family, her best friend, and their mutual dreams for someday marrying movie stars. Then Virginia’s world begins growing larger and less comfortable. Her laid-off uncle and his family must move into the Eides’ home. Virginia’s father, a physician, starts tending the homeless people who’ve built a village of shacks outside of town. As Virginia helps him bring aid to these desperately needy people, she begins to discover the joy of Jesus’ call to serve others. As her uncle is caught up by the violent opposition to his efforts to form a labor union, she learns that commitments often come at a sacrificial cost. This novel of faith in action will motivate and touch the hearts of believers, while displaying a narrative integrity that will also captivate those who do yet know Christ.” -A.S., Moody magazine

Imagine a time when your family’s doctor came to your home, even in the middle of the night, and never check your wallet before treating a member of your family. This is “Papa,” a principled doctor in “Hooverville” serving the needs of others during the Depression years.

“I wrote this a few years ago, before the ‘Obama-care’ controversy arose,” says author Ann Tatlock. “I still prefer the human touch, one in which God’s grace can even be called upon, to the government-dominated plans we face today.”

“A Room of My Own,” was awarded the Silver Angel Award by the late entertainer Steve Allen’s Hollywood-based Excellence in Media.

Ann Tatlock is the award-winning author of eight novels. She lives with her family in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal: “Wrapped up in dreams of boys and marriage, 13-year-old Virginia Eide is brought back to a harsh reality when her uncle loses his job and his whole family is forced to move in with the Eides. Slightly resentful, Virginia doesn’t fully understand why Jim can’t just get another job. Visits to “Soo City,” a housing camp for the homeless on the edge of their town, open Virginia’s eyes. Along with her doctor father, Virginia helps care for the homeless. Virginia also begins to realize that God may not only have a place in her day-to-day life but has plans for her entire lifetime. Tatlock’s first novel brings the Depression era to life, especially in its depiction of the of Soo City residents. Recommended, especially as an alternative to the romances and thrillers that usually populate Christian fiction.”
