Synopsis:	They have one summer to find what was lost long ago. "Never settle for less than the truth," she told him. But when you don't even know your real name, the truth gets a little complicated. It can nestle so close to home it's hard to see. It can even flourish inside a lie. And as Chase Walker discovered, learning the truth about who you are can be as elusive—and as magical—as chasing fireflies on a summer night. A haunting story about fishing, baseball, home cooking, and other matters of life and death.

Favorite Review

Profanity	Violence	Sexual Content

I don't remember there being profanity. There might have been, but I don't remember any.	There was a lady violently killed at the first of the book and some fighting and feeling of threat. An animal is uselessly killed. A girl dies of decease and life choices.	There was a character who had aids because of the kind of drug and sex life she had led. A man who had molested his children.

Characterization	Plot	Overall Rating

I really enjoyed the characters. I hated the book to end.	It had lots of good twists and turns. I enjoyed it very much. there was a little problem for me with the plot at the end, but I still like the book a really lot.	I like the book. I laughed and I cried. A feel good book in the end.

I very much enjoyed this book. It had lots of twists and surprises. It dealt with difficult adult topics like abuse and aids, but never felt offensive to me.
