Summary:
The years you spend at summer camp are indelibly etched on your heart. Can you ever really say goodbye to the place that made you who you are? This is the question that haunts three generations of women when a desperate, adrift teenager turns up at the campground they all used to call home. Now it's up to the 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 not 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 young girl for whom all hope seems lost--and recapture their own dreams along the way?" -- Page [4] cover.
