Moonface Summary

Moonface: A True Romance by Angela Balcita

"Angela Balcita's love story takes a couple of artsy wanderers off the road and into the bright, scary world of transplants, dialysis, and neonatal intensive care." -Marion Winik, author of The Glen Rock Book of the Dead From the pages of the New York Times' Modern Love column comes one woman's moving and uproarious story of how love and laughter rescued her from life-threatening illness. Angela Balcita's cathartic memoir of finding love while wrestling with kidney failure will strike a chord with anyone yearning for a poignant, true-to-life romance...with a real fairy tale ending.

Moonface Reviews

"[Moonface] will restore your faith in humanity." -- People "Balcita paints a picture of [her and her husband's] commitment and empathy for each other that is sweet and compelling enough to keep readers engrossed into the wee hours." -- USA Today "What makes Balcita's memoir so brightly entertaining is the unequaled sense of humor and perspective with which she and her devoted boyfriend-cum-spouse, Charlie, challenge these health problems. Certainly, Balcita's pitch-perfect prose and intrinsic sense of timing don't hurt either." -- Booklist "With her sharp ear for dialogue and unflinching honesty, Balcita offers a sweet story of love and healing." -- BookPage "A wonderfully composed, moving tale...Whether reflecting on her nomadic postcollege days or her emergency C-section, Balcita balances drama and comedy with finesse." -- Publishers Weekly "Balcita gratefully reiterates how she has been blessed with the healing power of friends and family, who collectively bolstered her faith in love. A heartwarming and inspiring memoir." -- Kirkus Reviews "A triumphant story of hope and love. Buy this book-and a box of Kleenex-immediately." -- OK! Magazine "[Angela Balcita's] story is a sweet testimony to the power of family, love, perseverance, and hope. And three cheers for her husband, Charlie, a natural comic and all-around great guy." -- Julie Metz, New York Times bestselling author of Perfection "Girl meets boy, girl gets boy, girl gets kidney... Moonface is full of people doing the best they can to take care of each other, and reading it is a rare refresher course in ordinary human kindness." -- Marion Winik, author of First Comes Love and The Glen Rock Book of the Dead
