My book, Another Crescent Moon, has been published by Better Than Starbucks. Here is its description:
Cliff Emerson has lived in the same group home for two decades. Diagnosed with cerebral palsy and unable to speak, he’s seen his quality of care decline over the years, and with it, his quality of life. His support staff are indifferent, and their superiors are oblivious, concerned more with appearance than with reality. No one else but Cliff, though, seems to notice, much less care — until the day that Ayo begins working in his home. Ayo is new not just to town but to America. With his mysterious past and willingness to take big risks, he plans to give Cliff the life he’s always wanted but never thought that he deserved.
Grounded in reality while bordering on the absurd, Another Crescent Moon is a moving and satirical look at what it means to care for others, to give them dignity and freedom in a place where both are talked about a lot but rarely understood.
A raw, unforgiving, yet intensely heartfelt testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of compassion.
Here is part of a review from Indie Reader (which listed it as one of its Books of the Month for August):
By turns funny, harrowing, and touching, Josh Cook’s ANOTHER CRESCENT MOON is a thought-provoking tale about disability and the nature of personal freedoms.
