Friday, October 05, 2007 (Averill Park, N.Y.) The road to
this point has been long and zigzagging for Tena Waldron. Yearning to
discover more about her father, Ben Waldron, who died when she was very
young, Tena is drawn into an enigmatic journey that leads her to the
small Adirondack Mountain town of North Creek. Here Tena expected to find
answers, but in Gloria Waldron Hukle's mysterious new tale, The Diary of
a Northern Moon, it appears that the harder Tena tries to piece together
the puzzle of her father's life, less and less seems to fit
.
The Diary of a Northern Moon is the second of a planned series of Waldron
novels, each taking place centuries apart but threaded to the others by
the Waldron family name and history. (More information visit

In Hukle's latest account, the action begins in l956, in front of an
upstate New York morgue, as Bertha Waldron braces herself to identify the
mortal remains of her estranged second husband, Ben, who disappeared a
year before. Bertha manages the strength to go through what she must do,
and as she sites beside Ben's corpse and examines his personal
possessions, she recalls a life once sweet with tender intimacies.
Fast-forwarding to l976, Hukle shifts the narrative toward Ben and
Bertha's daughter, Tena. Only a child during the painful time around her
father's death, Tena is now a successful, 26-year-old advertising
executive. She is disturbed, however, by troubling dreams that she
believes hold answers to her father's past. As she struggles between
faith and fantasy, a small package with no return address is left on her
stoop, it's contents become the catalyst for her journey to North Creek,
where she meets George MacArthur, her father's childhood friend.
Although she is at first delighted by the prospect of learning more about
the father she barely knew, George quickly becomes elusive, and Tena is
confused by the cool behavior shown by him and his wife, Lillian. As the
puzzle becomes more and more jumbled, Tena discovers that in this quiet
northern New York community, northing is as it seems. The confusing
pieces leave Tena, and readers--with one persisting question: Who exactly
was Ben Waldron?
Gloria Waldron Hukle, a native and resident of New York State is an llth
generation descendent of Resolved Waldron, a l7th Century immigrant to
New Amsterdam--now New York City- who was Peter Stuyvesant's strong arm
sheriff and a central character within her first novel, Manhattan Seeds
of the Big Apple. Resolved Waldron was John Bowne's arresting officer,
the arrest, trial and determination considered today by many to be the
first case of Religious Freedom in America. Ms Hukle and her husband,
Andrew reside at Upstate New York on the fringe of the Berkshire
Mountains. More information on Hukle and her writing visit:
