The past and present collide as five women work to save the summer camp of their youth in this heartwarming novel from Kaya McLaren,The Firelight Girls
The years spent at summer camp are indelibly etched on your heart. Can you ever really say good-bye to the place that made you who you are? This is the question that haunts three generations of women when a desperate, homeless teenager turns up at the campground they all used to call home.
Now it’s up to the former Firelight Girls to help her. There’s Laura, who once believed in marriage but no longer knows if her own is worth fighting for; Shannon, who spent the summers of her youth as a camp counselor and is now directionless after her career implodes; Ethel, the camp director whose heart has been broken beyond repair; and Ruby, who betrayed Ethel years ago and is still looking for a chance to make amends. Can these women all come together and find a way to save a younggirl for whom all hope seems lost—and recapture their own dreams along the way?
