This short story by Linda Hogan, “Aunt Moon's Young Man,”. On the one level, it is very much a tale of Bess Evening, whom our young female narrator has nicknamed Aunt Moon. Bessie comes to find love, healing and the promise of new life after tragedy when a young Indian named Isaac comes to town and woos her. One of the facts in the story states that, “Issac came in from fixing the roof. He touched her arm so softly I wasn’t sure she left it. I had never seen a man touch a woman that way.”(p. 405). In this statement, the writer wants to show the close relationship between Issac and Aunt Moon which differ from normal friendship. It’s a feeling of love between two persons. Also, if we continue reading this story, then you will see that their relationship won’t change and Aunt Moon also was pregnant. The Aunt Moon character is very real, and it was easy to believe her actions. Aunt Moon is portrayed as wise and knowledgeable about the ways of Indian healing and what is truly important in life. Our narrator says of her, "Aunt Moon was special. She had life in her," (p.198). She is "centered" and at ease with the actions she takes, and they remain consistent throughout the story, as she remains true to herself. Even the writer loved Aunt Moon too as she stated in her views on page 129 that, “I love Aunt Moon. For me, she is one of the courageous female heroes and adventurers I have seldom seen in stories.”
