Summary:

Full Moon at Noontide is the story of Ann Putnam's mother and father and her father's identical twin, and how they lived together with their courage and their stumblings, as they made their way into old age and then into death. It's the story of the journey from one twin's death to the other, of what happened along the way, of what it means to lose the other who is also oneself. And it's the story of how Ann Putnam herself struggled to save them and could not, and how she dealt with the weight of guilt, of worrying that she had not done enough, said enough, stayed long enough for them all.
