In a tale of young love, imagination, and belonging, Paul Steinberg crafts a magical romance that blossoms from childhood dreams and leads to an adult turning point.
Paul Steinberg presents an atypical romance in Hurry Moon (Heartsense Trilogy Book 1), a fantasy love story that starts when Dalton Hunter, age seven, meets Sienna Snow inside his dreams. What initially appears as a reassuring companionship grows alongside Dalton as he moves through childhood doubt, teenage years, artistic growth, and grown-up life. By letting the relationship form well before the usual beginning in such stories, Steinberg examines how emotional ties can shape a person’s identity, aspirations, and the decisions that eventually determine their path.
Dalton meets Sienna for the first time while he is settling into a new school. Sienna is also seven and resides in China because her parents work in international marketing. Their nightly dream meetings quickly become a wellspring of friendship and direction. As Dalton deals with unfamiliar classmates, social events, romantic interests, and later college, Sienna stays a steady figure, even when Dalton wonders if she is only a figment of his mind. She nurtures his developing fascination with photography, a pursuit that ultimately guides him to a thriving profession in fashion photography. Their bond grows more intricate when Samantha Choice, a bright and self-assured magazine editor, steps into Dalton’s waking world and views him as the perfect partner.
The idea behind Hurry Moon (Heartsense Trilogy Book 1) originated from a jazz tune about a man who cannot find a girlfriend because every real woman falls short of the one he envisions. That concept raised a question Steinberg could not readily set aside and ultimately paved the way for Dalton’s narrative.
Steinberg also used his own background of moving often and constantly starting at new schools, such as attending three separate elementary schools in second grade. Through the bond between Dalton and Sienna, the book explores love as something that can go beyond typical limits of age, distance, and situation. Supernatural features, like extrasensory perception, contribute to the plot, but Steinberg keeps emotional experience at the core. The warmth, doubt, yearning, and connection felt by the main characters, and mirrored by those close to them, lend the fantasy a relatable human basis.
For those who enjoy gentle romance with a creative twist, the tale provides both the charm of early love and the tougher inquiries that arise when childhood attachments extend into adult life.
Steinberg brings to Hurry Moon (Heartsense Trilogy Book 1) experiences and concepts that hold personal significance, especially the difficulties of adjusting to new surroundings as a child. His recollections of constant relocation influenced Dalton’s desire for steadiness, and the musical source of the novel supplied its key romantic dilemma: What occurs when the individual who seems most fitting appears first only in one’s thoughts?
Following Dalton’s path from a seven-year-old new kid to a skilled photographer confronting a crucial decision, Steinberg delivers a magical romance focused on belonging, lasting ties, and the profound impact love can have on a life.
