Jessilyn Lassiter tells her tale of mishaps, struggles and discoveries during the summer of 1932. She's just turned thirteen and she finds trouble, or trouble finds her, just about every time she opens her mouth. Her best friend is Gemma, a slightly older African-American girl whose family lives on her daddy's farm.

All is as it should be in the south in the 30s, including segregation of the races, and everyone knows their place in the world. That is until a freak lightning strike from a thunder...more

I know that makes me somewhat of an emotional reviewer, making allowances for horrible plot-holes because “the characters were just so wonderful” but I will freely admit to it.
This book, however, was not one in which I make allowances for problems with plot and pacing because of my love for the characters. This book, with its wonderful cast of realistic characters, also had a perfectly paced, tightly crafted plot. And I loved it. I loved every second of it.

Valent’s depiction of the south in the summer of 1932 and the racial prejudice that existed during that time was well done. Having already read the Shiloh Legacy (a trilogy by Brock and Bodie Thoene) I thought that this seemed, not necessarily watered down, but much milder. Still, it was believable, and that’s what counts in my book.

Secondly, oh my goodness, the characters. I didn’t rate this book for the characters alone, as stated above, but oh…how I loved them! They were amazing. The way they interacted was funny and understandable. Valent has an understanding for human behavior that impressed me very much. Jessie is a little tomboy, gradually growing into a woman. There were moments when she very much reminded me of a slightly older version of Scout Finch.
(Not to mention that I may be just a teensy weensy bit in love with Luke Talley. I don’t care if he’s six years older than Jessie, they must end up together! MUST, I SAY!).

Thirdly, the Christian message. It was done perfectly. It wasn’t preachy or overdone, it was just softly woven in and I loved that. I always cringe when Christianity comes over too loudly in a novel and just ends up seeming cheesy. This book gets it right. Jessie isn’t a Christian, but she believes that God exists. She just hasn’t seen a need in her life for repentance. I like when she’s locked in a shed, afraid she’s going to die and she says, “But even as I sat in that dimly lit shed, I wasn’t asking for salvation of my soul. I was asking for salvation of my body.” Sometimes I think we all lose sight of the fact that it’s not our body that will last for an eternity, it’s our souls.

“Jessilyn, ain’t no man can’t get someplace he never thought he’d get to. You let enough bad thoughts into your head, you can end up doin’ all sorts of things you never thought possible. […] We best be on our guard and keep our minds on what’s right and true so we don’t become things we’ll regret.”

I’m so happy my birthday is coming up soon, and I’ll probably get at least one Barnes & Noble gift card which I can “blow” on Cottonwood Whispers and Catching Moondrops. I must have them. I should buy the actual books, rather than the ebooks. But I get ebooks instantly, and I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait an extra week waiting for the physical books to get to me. But yeah, these books are worth buying the real thing. They’re phenomenal. (less)

The heroine, Jessilyn Lassiter, has had a somewhat sheltered childhood is rural Virginia. However, in 1932, Jessilyn turns 13, and things really change. Gemma, the daughter of a black couple employed by the Lassiters, is the sole survivor of a fire and after she loses her parents, Jessilyn's father declares that he will take in Gemma and raise her as his own.

Not surprisingly for the time, this decision unleashes a complete firestorm. Reactions from the locals range from kindness to ostracism to outright violent hatred. Through it all, Jessilyn and Gemma remain friends, but the trials faced by the family open Jessilyn's eyes to the real ugliness of racism and prejudice. On the one hand, this book was a really eye-opening read that told a much less sanitized than usual version(at least way less sanitized than anything I learned in school) of segregation history. The book is told in first person through Jessilyn's eyes, and she is a very convincing 13 year old who is sometimes wise and sometimes immature beyond anything I'd like to remember about myself at that age.

While this book had some very good points, it also had some real rough spots,too. Most of the dialogue employs a southern dialect that makes for frustrating reading. The setting of the book, Calloway County, is not a real county in Virginia, but based on the descriptions, it sounds a lot like the Southside region of Virginia. If that's the case, then I'd say the dialect seems accurate for what I've encountered there, but that doesn't make it any easier to plow through as a reader. Parts of the story also feel a little contrived and overly predictable in places, which I found distracting. Lastly, the story also started to drag for me about halfway through, and I think it's because the characterizations seemed a little simplistic. This may be because we saw everything through Jessilyn's eyes (and she's not the most perceptive heroine ever), but it still made for somewhat frustrating reading.

Even so, I found this an interesting, if uneven, read. Fireflies in December is inspirational fiction, but most of the inspirational content came from characters speaking of faith and justice in ways that reminded me very much of everyday conversations I've heard in rural Virginia in real life rather than protracted scenes of stilted preaching. One note of caution: This book is grittier than most, and there are some graphic scenes of violence toward people and toward animals that some readers will find upsetting.

"Fireflies in December" by first-time author Jennifer Erin Valent was recognized with the Christy Award in 2010 for best First Novel. It's easy to see why this book set in 1930s Virginia won the award; from the first page to the last, it draws readers in and holds their attention with good, old-fashioned storytelling.

The opening lines of "Fireflies in December" immediately let the reader know this will be one of those stories you have to follow until you find out the ending.

I also strongly support that what you put inside your mind will shape your future. In that sense, Jessica’s father and mother was doing the right thing.

Honestly, I could not stop comparing this book to Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." It really can't be helped — a book about race issues in the 1930s-era South? How can anyone not compare the two books, right?

Honestly, I could not stop comparing this book to Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." It really can't be helped — a book about race issues in the 1930s-era South? How can anyone not compare the two books, right? That's not necessarily a good thing for this book, though, because "Mockingbird" is probably the most perfect book in existence, and this one just pales in comparison. Probably most any book in this genre would. Harper Lee hit it out of the ballpark with her book, so this genre is done, really. Any other book after it could only be seen as an imitation.

Anyway, I first made comparisons when the main character Jessie, a 13-year-old girl, and her Dad have a conversation on the porch about fireflies. It brought me instantly to mind about what Scout and her father talked about mockingbirds in Harper Lee's novel. From then on, all I could think was, "This book is trying desperately to be 'To Kill a Mockingbird'." And I mean desperately.

The biggest differences, of course, is that the girl in this book is much older, and the man on trial is a white man instead of black. In Lee's novel, the black man is innocent but assumed guilty, yet his defense prevails. In this book, the white man is guilty and gets away with it; that is, he doesn't get convicted. Also, the two kids in this book encounter so much more violence, aimed directly at them, and there's also the threat of a sexual attack and at least two deaths. Lee's novel is so much more innocent and is written with so much more subtlety and craft and a lighter hand.

"Fireflies" — on the other hand — is a bit heavy handed, especially in the end where it moralizes a little too much in the name of Jesus. It's predictable in some ways, too, illogically contrived in others. For instance, the way Jeb was introduced to the story, I knew he had to be one of two things, and from the way Jessie didn't communicate her suspicions right away, delaying her parents' eventual explanation of the truth, it was a dead giveaway. And that's part of why it was so illogical at times — it didn't make sense that Jessie would keep her suspicions to herself when she was so truthful and forthright nearly every other time. It just wasn't consistent what she would share and what she would keep to herself. It also wasn't consistent how she would be paralyzed with fear and then later do something stupidly "brave."

But except for the inconsistencies, it really wasn't bad. I think if I hadn't already read Harper Lee, I really would have loved this.

This book is a great coming-of-age book that seems geared toward a young adult audience. It would be a great book for a junior high/high school English class required reading and discussion.

I enjoyed the 13-year-old perspective in this book. While this perspective made it a bit simplistic (as some reviewers have criticized) I found it to be realistic and refreshing. The young and innocent perspective wasn't tainted with *understanding* of the bias that adults have. Also, the *love* Jessilyn had...more

I wasn’t sure what I would think about this book. Seeing as it was set in the 30’s in the Deep South—I was honestly worried about the southern speech. Though I have lived in the South my entire life—I cannot stand to see books with a lot of stereotypical southern speech. This book did have a lot of southern slang and speech patterns but it was more in a speaking style rather than misspelling words to point out the southern accent.

This wasn't the typical Christian historical novel.

This is one of those books that you'd think would be on some required reading list. It has been compared to Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, but I honestly think it's better. The sequel is more along the lines of Mockingbird. This one is darker, uglier, with touches of both humor and romance. Think Mockingbird as Tom Sawyer and Fireflies as Huckleberry Finn.

“Daddy didn’t say anything for a minute or so, and then he reached up and caught a firefly as it glowed beside him. “See this light?” he asked me when the firefly lit up his hand.

“Yes’r.”

“That light is bright enough to light up a little speck of the night sky so a man can see it a ways away. That’s what God expects us to do. We’re to be lights in the dark, cold days that are this world. Like fireflies in December.”

“Time meandered on without Gemma’s momma and daddy, and it meandered on without Cy fuller and Walt Blevins. . . but those of us left behind viewed life more dearly, felt it more keenly. I’d learned a bit more about God and I’d seen His powerful hands at work. As I was growing, my heart was changing. And the way I figured it, there were lessons learned in those dark days that would help me for years to come.”

“As I sat on the porch on that December day . . . I leaned my head against the rail and sighed deeply. The way I figured it just then, my summer may have been full of bad luck, but my life wasn’t. I figured as far as family went, I was one of the luckiest girls alive.” — 8 people liked it
