MYSTERY * HISTORY * FORGIVENESS- these are the keywords in this 2nd Novel of the series by Gloria Waldron Hukle 

The Waldron saga introduced in MANHATTAN SEEDS OF THE BIG APPLE follows Resolved Waldron as he and his young wife make their home mid l7th century Manhattan on the corner of what is today Broadway and Wall Street. Decades roll into centuries and in The Diary of a Northern Moon it seems all connective links to these original settlers of New York State have rotted far beneath the paved city streets of Manhattan until a strangely unique gift wrapped in plain brown paper arrives at a young woman's apartment hundreds of miles from today's Big Apple.
