The Firefly Jar - Paperback

Welcome to Crickley Creek, where dreams are encouraged-as long as they fit within the proper rules of etiquette.

Sweet Charlotte Sinclair has no idea that "bless your heart" is the same as "screw you"-and she's about to find out the hard way. After her mother's death, Charlotte moved from free-wheeling California to her mother's tiny hometown in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, longing to feel closer to her and searching for closure.

Charlotte loves her status as a popular coffee shop owner and is enjoying her budding romance with local hero Will Rushton more than she'd like to admit. So why is she still struggling to find acceptance within the Crickley Creek community? There's a secret nestled among the plantation homes and Spanish moss-covered oaks-a truth her mother's arch rival will do anything to hide.

And if Charlotte doesn't learn how to overcome the damage some well-placed gossip can do to her reputation, she might lose everything, including her rose-colored memories of her mother. But is it possible for an outsider to belong in the deep South and still remain true to her own roots?
