"I felt like I was trapped in one of those terrifying nightmares, the one where you have to run, run till your lungs burst, but you can't make your body move fast enough... But this was no dream, and, unlike the nightmare, I wasn't running for my life; I was racing to save something infinitely more precious. My own life meant little to me today."

• Summary: An earth-shattering change to Bella's life makes the previous year's tribulations child's play, for this time, she doesn't have Edward at her side. After he leaves her behind and promises that neither he nor his family will ever return, Bella is devastated and left to pick up the pieces of her life alone.
  
  Until, that is, a budding friendship with Jacob Black fills part of the void and acts as the only source of comfort in Bella's new Edward-less existence. But this new relationship presents its own set of hurdles, and when Jacob begins behaving mysteriously, Bella soon realizes that there is far more to her friend than meets the eye.
  
  As she struggles to unravel the mystery of Jacob Black and the Quileute tribe of La Push, Bella also faces a serious internal struggle as to whether she's capable of letting go of Edward; and if so, is she ready to love Jacob the way he loves her? Even though she doesn't yet really know who-- or what-- Jacob is?
  
  But before she can finish mending her shattered heart, answering these impossible questions, and solving these endless mysteries, there comes an unexpected visitor at her door-- someone she thought she'd never see again.
  
  New Moon takes the reader on an emotional and adventurous journey, complete with secrets, lies, betrayal, and love. It begs the fundamental question, is Bella prepared to forget her life with the Cullens? Is she ready to uncover the hidden identities of her newfound friends? And is she prepared to do this at the expense of forgetting about her vampires, and the world she had with them?
  
  That is, if they'll even let her.
