Preface

Moonrise tells the story of Joe and his older brother Ed. Joe hasn’t seen Ed for ten years because for the last ten years Ed has been on death row in Texas.

Now Ed’s date of execution has come through and Joe knows there time together is limited.

Moonrise is a tale about the strong bonds of brotherly love but it is also a scathing condemnation of the whole premise of capital punishment
