title: So Far Away: A Novel
author:  Meg Mitchell Moore 
description: PRAISE FOR <em>SO FAR AWAY</em>:<br><br>"Meg Mitchell Moore has taken the hot button topic of cyber bullying and crafted a story so compellingly real you will never forget her thirteen-year-old heroine, Natalie Gallagher. Moore's pitch-perfect rendering of this girl's voice is nothing short of stunning."<b><i>Laura Harrington, author of <i>Alice Bliss</i></b></i><br /><br />"<i>So Far Away</i> is the moving story of three very different women whose lives improbably intersect. Meg Mitchell Moore effortlessly moves among a teenage cyber-bullying victim, a mother who longs for her lost daughter, and a 1920s Irish domestic with a shocking secret. The result is a powerful page-turner about love, loss, motherhood, and friendship."<b><i>J. Courtney Sullivan, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Maine </i>and <i>Commencement</i></b></i><br /><br />"This sweet and thoughtful novel is both tense and elegiac, exploring the damage we inflict on ourselves and each other, and the strength it takes to heal."<b><i><em>Publishers Weekly </em></b></i><br /><br />PRAISE FOR <em>THE ARRIVALS</em>:<br><br>"What an intoxicating read! In <i>The Arrivals</i>, Meg Mitchell Moore takes on the age-old topic of parents and children and <i>their</i> children with a fresh perspective, a canny understanding of human emotion, and the absolute best dialogue I have ever read. Both charming and deeply meaningful, this is one book you must not miss."<br> --- Elin Hilderbrand<br /><br />"A tender portrait of a tangled, complicated, all-too real family, <i>The Arrivals</i> left me teary and fulfilled. A sparkling, page-turning debut."<br> --- Allison Winn Scotch, <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of <em>The One That I Want</em>, <em>Time of My Life</em>, and <em>Department of Lost and Found</em><br /><br />"With crisp, insightful prose, Meg Mitchell Moore examines the anxieties, intimacies, wounds, misunderstandings, and joys that bind the Owen family as they face one long summer together. This lovely, satisfying story is an absolute pleasure to read."<br> --- Kelly O'Connor McNees, author of <i>The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott</i><br /><br />"Meg Mitchell Moore's debut novel, <em>The Arrivals</em>, reads like the finest of guidebooks, pointing out the beauty and excitement of an untraveled place, yet simultaneously offering readers a map of their own families, with the intricacies, misunderstandings, heartbreak, and forgiveness found there. Under Moore's deft and gloriously talented hand, the best kind of story telling is woven with epiphany, and readers will emerge knowing a place so close to home in an entirely new way."<br> --- Siobhan Fallon, author of <em>You Know When the Men Are Gone</em><br /><br />"[A] promising debut...Moore finds a crisp narrative in the morass of an overpacked household, and she keeps the proceedings moving with an assurance and outlook reminiscent of Laurie Colwin, evoking emotional universals with the simplest of observations."<b><i><em>Publishers Weekly</em></b></i>
