Blurb taken from back cover:
When eight-year-old Tessa Lee and her brother Travis are abandoned in a campground by their desperate mother and her boyfriend of the moment, they are left with only two things: a phone number written in Magic Marker on Travis’s back and their mother’s favorite housecoat, which she leaves wrapped around her sleeping children. This housecoat, printed with tiny fireflies, becomes totemic for Tessa Lee, providing a connection to her past and to the beautiful mother she lost.
Seven years later, when word arrives that her mother has been spotted working at a wax museum on a seaside boardwalk, Tessa Lee sets off on a dangerous journey to try to recover what has been taken from her.
Steeped in the rich Southern atmosphere and characters for which Sheri Reynolds has long been hailed, “Firefly Cloak” is a vivid coming-of-age novel of family, loss, and redemption that will appeal to readers of Carson McCullers and Sue Monk Kidd.
