Edna and Luna by Gleah Powers

“An appealing story of human resilience and connection with two memorable female protagonists.” Kirkus Reviews

Edna & Luna is set against the stark beauty of the American Southwest and follows the unlikely bond between two women at opposite ends of life.

Edna, a seventy-year-old widow facing both old age and the prospect of a hysterectomy, struggles to rebuild after loss. Her attempts at connection—a hairdresser, a gardener, even a man from a senior dance whose interest turns predatory—only deepen her loneliness.

Luna, thirty-five and gifted with an unorthodox power to heal, has long been dismissed as eccentric. Escaping a violent marriage, she seeks refuge in a nearby trailer park. When the two women meet, Edna suspects Luna is unstable—or perhaps after her money. Yet what begins with mistrust transforms into an extraordinary odyssey of friendship, self-discovery, and unexpected healing for them both.
