The Last of the Moon Girls

Althea Moon, recently deceased, discusses how the waterlogged corpses of two local teens, Darcy and Heather Gilman, were found in the pond on her property. Her spirit lingers, hoping to solve the mystery of their murders. This tragedy wrecked the Moon farm and legacy.

Althea’s granddaughter, Elzibeth “Lizzy” Moon, receives a letter from Althea’s friend Evangeline “Evvie” Broussard, informing her of Althea’s death. Along with the letter comes a journal. Lizzy was given the journal to record her metaphysical “Path” on her 16th birthday (4), which is a tradition in the Moon family. Lizzy never wrote in it, put it in a drawer, and left it behind when she moved to New York City several years ago. Althea didn’t tell Lizzy she was sick, which upsets Lizzy.

Luc Chenier, Lizzy’s boss at Chenier Fragrances, invites Lizzy to dinner. They dated until Lizzy was promoted to creative director; then, she broke things off. She turns down his dinner invitation, telling him that her grandmother died. Luc says that she’s welcome to take some time off for the funeral. Lizzy learned in the letter that Althea was cremated and that her ashes were spread on the farm during the first full moon after her death, as per tradition.
