MOONFLOWER LAKE
By Via Belle
Author of Silver Summer and Raven’s Nest

In the quiet Pennsylvania countryside, a lake shimmers beneath the moonlight—serene by day, mysterious by night. When newlywed Laurel Danner moves into her husband’s ancestral home on its shore, she believes she’s found a haven from her troubled past. But as the seasons turn and shadows deepen, Laurel begins to wonder: is it the house or her husband that’s slowly driving her mad?

In a forgotten corridor of the old stone house, Laurel begins questioning not only the man she married, but the very meaning of love. Footsteps echo in empty halls. A baby cries when no one is near. And by the glint of her moonflower garden, Laurel must decide whether to stay silent or risk everything to fight for her future.

Poignant and atmospheric, Moonflower Lake is a story of deception and deliverance, threaded with suspense and softened by hope. With her trademark lyricism and emotional depth, Via Belle invites readers into a haunting world where uncovering the truth may be the only thing that can save her.

“In this unforgettable story, Via Belle trades in the romantic notions of her earlier works for something far more raw and resonant. The result is a novel brimming with tension and tenderness, bravery and heartbreak. Moonflower Lake is a fine novel from the prolific Miss Belle.”— The Philadelphia Gazette, 1943
