The Firefly
Addie Burhan never allowed the choice she made eighteen years ago to control her life. A goal not easily accomplished in 1940, when an unplanned pregnancy left women with few options. But after hearing gossip about her former boyfriend Barry Gallatin at the weekly Sewing Circle - codename for ladies' poker night-Addie realizes everything she held sacred is about to be crushed.
Barry and his family have returned to her sleepy town in southwestern Pennsylvania. It's bad enough that he broke her heart to marry her then-friend, Nora, but now Addie's close-knit circle wants to welcome the two-faced woman back into their group.
Within weeks, her teenage son meets the Gallatins' daughter. A romance blooms, swirling Addie into a panic. She can't let him fall in love with this girl. Her Lebanese upbringing and strong faith have kept her from revealing her past. And now that secret will destroy two families. But if she doesn't tell the truth-those same lives will be shattered.
