Sharon Bryan, December 12, 2007

"Undressing the Moon" is the story of a woman dying far too young who recalls her life as a 14-year old, a pivotal time in her life that is not only a turning point for her, but to all those who are close to her. What makes this book outstanding is the beautiful, lyrical voice of the writer--pure poetry at moments--as well as a unique and fascinating insight into the mind of a Piper, as both a teenage girl and a woman in her 30's. When Piper was 14, her brilliant but stifled mother leaves--a fate that Piper had always known would come to pass. In her absence, Piper takes the shards of her life and tries, with much difficulty, to piece them together. She engages in a verboten but fascinating affair with a teacher, deals with her father--a cowardly and pathetic man, takes care of her older brother, and without complaint bravely faces in a world that can be both cruel and beautiful. Greenwood's writing hits the mark, and is free of any cliche as she delicately pieces together Piper's life, and the fragments long forgotten that she must reconcile before she dies. A searing, honest and memorable gem.
