Shoot the Moon -- Billie Letts

<b>From one of America's best-loved storytellers - the author of the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller Where the Heat Is - comes a tale of a small Oklahoma town and the mystery that has haunted its residents for years.</b> <p/> In 1972, windswept DeClare, Oklahoma, was consumed by the murder of a young mother, Gaylene Harjo, and the disappearance of her baby, Nicky Jack. When the child's pajama bottoms were discovered on the banks of Willow Creek, everyone feared that he, too, had been killed, although his body was never found. <p/> Nearly thirty years later, Nicky Jack mysteriously returns to DeClare, shocking the town and stirring up long-buried memories. But what he discovers about the night he vanished is more astonishing than he or anyone could have imagine. Piece by piece, what emerges is a story of dashed hopes, desperate love, and a secret that still cries out for justice...and redemption.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Billie Letts<br><b>Publisher:</b> Grand Central Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 07/01/2005<br><b>Pages:</b> 368<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.68lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.08h x 5.28w x 1.03d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780446695060<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.9<br><b>Point Value:</b> 11<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>104014 / Shoot the Moon<br><br><b>Award:</b> Iowa High School Book Award - Nominee<br><b>Award:</b> Oklahoma Book Award - Finalist<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>In
