English Summary/英文概要： With How I Came to Sparkle Again,
K a y a Mc L a r e n gave us a “gem of a novel”*
about three women looking for a second chance.
Now, Kaya returns with the same “generous and
endearing”+ boldness in her new novel, Firelight Girls.
The summers you spend at summer camp are indelibly etched on your heart. But what happens when the camp you love is about to close? Can you ever really say goodbye to the place that made you who you are? This is the question that plagues Ethel, the seventy-year-old former camp director who is nursing a broken heart after losing the love of her life. It’s also a question that inspires change in forty-year-old Shannon, who is directionless after watching her career implode. Then there is Ruby, who betrayed Ethel years ago and hasn’t spoken to her since. Is this her chance to make amends? When the three women learn that a homeless teen has been hiding at camp—the only place she can escape her terrifying home life—they realize camp is something much more immediate for all: survival. Three generations of women are about to find so much more as they search for a way to save the place that saved them all in The Firelight Girls, Kaya McLaren’s novel of love and loss, heartbreak and healing.
