About this listen
According to Kirkus Reviews: "Once in a Blood Moon elegantly articulates a young woman's precarious position between white and black society. Overall, this novel explores issues of equality and personal freedom in thought-provoking ways."
Once in a Blood Moon is a-can't-put-it-down-pause-resister about love, betrayal, and redemption.
Sixteen-year-old Alexandra Degambia is the daughter of a wealthy African American planter and a social-climbing mother who can pass for White. Balancing on the tightrope between girlhood and the complicated adult world is a treacherous undertaking. One misstep could ruin a young woman’s prospects forever.
Alexandra yearns to establish her own place in the world as an accomplished violinist. She assumes her talent and her family’s wealth will pave the way to her success. Her life becomes a nightmare when her mother dies and her father is murdered by prejudiced officials eager to seize the plantation. When Alexandra becomes the heiress of Heaven Hill plantation, she has a target on her back. Powerful people want to seize the plantation for their own. Alexandra flees to save her life.
