Alexandria Stone (Lexie): The protagonist of the story. Lexie is 17 years old and lives in York, where she has lived her whole life. She is a loner; only sharing her time with her 3 best friends- Caitlin, Maya & Ben. She has a difficult time letting anyone in, does not trust easily, and it very secretive. It is those very secrets that almost get her killed. When Lexie isn't spending time with her closest friends, she is down at the river where she feels closest to her sister.
Angela Stone: Lexie's sister who was murdered when Lexie was 12. Lexie has had a hard time with Angela's death and has not overcome her grief over the loss. Angela loved astronomy-the moon more than anything. She believes it was fate that led her to this passion because she was born with a crescent shaped birthmark. This marking helped law enforcement identify her badly beaten body. Angela spent a lot of time at the river-her favorite spot-star gazing and she shared this love with Lexie.
Brian Stone: Lexie's Alcoholic father who has been physically abusing Lexie for years. He works for the town of York and appears to be an upstanding resident and a decent father who has had a string of bad luck-his older daughter is murdered and shortly after his wife walks out, leaving him to raise his young teenage daughter.
Claire Stone: Lexie's Self-obsessed mother who walks out on Lexie a year after Angela's death. (Sharing too much about her, would give too much away...)
Caitlin Preston: One of Lexie's best friends and the daughter of Chief Preston. Lexie is close to Caitlin's whole family as Caitlin's sister Sara was best friends with Angela. Caitlin becomes Lexie's rock when her secret is blown wide open. She supports Lexie and tries to understand what she is going through rather than being judgmental. She is the mediator of the group.
Maya Summers: One of Lexie's best friends who lives in York. Maya really helped Lexie get through the hardship of Angela's death. She is a good listener and a good friend to Lexie. However, Lexie thinks she can be overbearing sometimes and always wants to talk everything out, which Lexie doesn't always want to do.
Ben Collins: Lexie's best friend and the boy next door. He has lived in York his whole life, growing up next door to Lexie. He is rugged and athletic, but is a total softy for his three best girlfriends. He is reliable and dependable. He pushes Lexie in ways that no one else does and she values his opinion substantially. Lexie has always had a crush on Ben, but fears ruining their friendship if she ever acted on it.
Chief Preston: York's Chief of Police and Caitlin's father. He treats Lexie and Maya like his own daughters and is very protective. He's never gotten over the fact that they were unable to solve Angela's murder and Lexie finds proof that he may still be looking-unofficially.

Harvest Moon Soundtrack:
The music that inspired me while I was writing Harvest Moon... each song corresponds to some part of the book (what was happening at that time, how the characters were feeling..etc.)
I have arranged them in order. There are three songs in particular, that when I hear them I feel like they represents the series as a whole and the emotions behind Lexie's story; the pain she endures, the decisions she must make, and the lessons she learns along the way.
