The Half Moon

 Mary Beth Keane is the author of The Half Moon; a contemporary novel about married life in a small town. The married couple are Malcolm and Jess. Malcolm's dream was to own a bar called The Half Moon. His dream comes true. Jess' dream is to graduate law school and become a mother. She is a successful lawyer but she and Malcolm have fertility issues. They live is a small town within driving distance of New York City. One winter weekend a snow storm shuts down the city and they are left to figure out what are the important things they want together. I enjoyed reading this story about a nice guy like Malcolm and a strong female character like Jess.
