In Cottonwood Whispers, the sequel to Fireflies in December, readers will find a story of quick assumptions and false accusations; a story of how easily people can believe something without exploring justification.

It's 1936, and though Jessilyn Lasiter and her best friend
Gemma Teague had survived prejudice and heartache in their
life-long friendship, this summer threatens to tear them
apart yet again. Gemma's job with the wealthy Hadley family
leads to a crush on their youngest son. But Jessilyn's
insistence that he's no good and that no rich white man
would ever truly fall for a poor black girl like Gemma puts
them at odds.
Tragedy strikes when Jessilyn's cherished neighbor girl is
hit by a car and killed. Things get worse when an elderly
friend is falsely accused of the crime, and the only way to
clear his name is to put her family's livelihood in
jeopardy. For Jessilyn, this is a choice too hard to bear
and she wonders where to turn of answers, especially when an
angry mob threatens vigilante justice.
