Moonlight Memories Kay Stone

This story moves through adventure, tragedy, joy, and humor as it weaves together the lives of three people who have survived the many challenges in their lives. Gerald Powell is a career Coast Guard officer who has experienced deep sea rescues, drug raids, and the Vietnam War. Coral Lee Bascom, beginning in her church choir in rural Tennessee and rising to national stardom, struggles though the ups and downs of the music industry and the loss of her beloved husband and singing partner. Bette Canales is a TexMex school teacher whose family suffered though the difficulties of two separate border crossings, migrant work farms, and the devastating explosion in Texas City, Texas that destroyed much of the city in 1947. Caught in an unhappy marriage, she looks for a way out, and finds it.
