Inspirational Historical
Jessilyn Lassiter never knew that hatred could lurk in the
human heart until the summer of 1932 when she turned 13.
When her best friend, Gemma, loses her parents in a tragic
fire, Jessilyn's father vows to care for her as one of his
own, despite the fact that Gemma is black and prejudice is
prevalent in their southern Virginia town. Violence springs
up as a ragtag band of Ku Klux Klan members unite and decide
to take matters into their own hands. As tensions mount in the small community, loyalties are
tested and Jessilyn is forced to say good-bye to the
carefree days of her youth. Fireflies in December is the 2007 winner of the
Christian Writers Guild's Operation First Novel contest.
