About This Book

A group of former Camp Fire girls reconvene as adults and face the tensions that emerge between marriage, family duties, and lingering bonds of friendship. Social events and domestic worries trigger suspicions, misunderstandings, and private anxieties, while one woman's plea for help about a relative sets off inquiries that reveal hidden motives and past ties. The narrative moves through moments of loneliness, revelation, and confrontation toward explanations and reconciliations, as the circle works to clear up confusions and renew the trust and fellowship that once bound them.
