Tabitha Moonshadow and her mom, Molly, are running away. It's 1978, and seventeen-year-old Tabitha has just spent a disastrous summer with her dad, Molly's ex-husband. So mother and daughter flee to a small town in southeast Missouri. Once there, Tabitha experiences isolation and rejection at church as well as vicious bigotry at school. However, Tabitha is befriended almost immediately by Beulah Martineau and the girls of the Circle. And in the Circle, Tabitha finds acceptance and a sense of belonging. But the Circle is more than the social club Tabitha thinks it to be. From $1.99 SHOP NOW /
