| dcterms.abstract | Moontide is a coming-of-age young adult “road†story set in the south, which follows almost seventeen-year-old Jesse, a bi-racial, semi-orphaned outsider who must protect his younger half-siblings (twins) in the face of his step-father’s abuse and their meth-addicted mother’s overdose. Determined not to be separated from his siblings and placed once again in foster care, Jesse kidnaps the twins and embarks on a journey as emotional as it is physical, in search of his birth father, a Creole musician in New Orleans. Although his New Orleans relatives embrace him completely, Jesse must ultimately come to a new understanding of the meaning of family, and to embrace his place in the world, part of which requires traveling back to Virginia to confront the demons he left behind. | |
