When her best friend Gemma loses her parents in a tragic fire, Jessilyn’s father vows to care for her as his own, despite the fact that Gemma is black and prejudice is prevalent in their southern Virginia town. It doesn’t take long for the Lassiters to attract the attention of a local band of Ku Klux Klan members, who make increasingly violent threats on Jessilyn and her family. As she struggles to navigate a complex world of first crushes, loyalties, and betrayals, Jessilyn ultimately discovers what it takes to be a bright light in a dark world. 4925064 1 1 2008 Fireflies in December total:125|5:43|4:51|3:22|2:6|1:3| 125 500 262 41 4 2 false true Thu Mar 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 15:03:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 14:46:09 -0700 2009 To Kill a Mockingbird of our day. That and the many anachronisms.

If there was a 3.5 rating, I'd give it but gave this debut novel the benefit of the split.
