The Man Who Fell In Love With The Moon by Tom Spanbauer
Set in the late 19th century American West, this novel follows the journey of Shed, a half-Native American, bisexual boy, as he navigates his identity and the complexities of love and belonging. Raised in a brothel by his adoptive mother, Ida Richilieu, Shed embarks on a quest for self-discovery, encountering a cast of eccentric characters, including a mysterious cowboy and a wise old woman. Through a blend of magical realism and raw storytelling, the narrative explores themes of race, sexuality, and the search for one's true self in a world that often feels alien and unforgiving.
