“In Susan Wingate’s novel How the Deer Moon Hungers, the hidden horrors of juvenile detention facilities are exposed. ―Foreword Clarion Reviews – 5-Stars

"Vivid characters, a disarming storyline and gratifying ending. What more could a reader want? Everything that can go wrong in Mac’s life does—her parents divorce, her sister dies, and she’s arrested for something she didn’t do. She has to learn how to assimilate it, learn from it, and move forward. But that won’t be easy.” ―Terry Persun, Amazon Bestseller

“Susan Wingate is gifted at capturing these shifting nuances as events continue to pull characters apart and put them back together like puzzles, albeit in a different way. HOW THE DEER MOON HUNGERS carries the reader through this process, creating a powerful and memorable saga that is hard to put down and lingers in the mind long after the story is over." ―Diane Donovan, Senior Editor, Midwest Book Review

“An amazing story!” —Kathryn Lane, Award-winning author of the Nikki Garcia thriller series
