Where fireflies wait / Wendy Kirkland
When Junia Belle Sorrell returns to Booey Creek after her grandmother's passing, she plans only to settle the old house and leave again. But the mountain valley holds a pull stronger than she expects. Among her grandmother's keepsakes, Junia uncovers a box of maps, journal, and small relics-evidence of a secret project to protect Native American artifacts hidden deep in the mountain on the property. As Junia begins piecing together the story, she crosses paths with Cal Rainer, a quiet rafter who knows the river and its legends by heart. Together, they trace the clues her grandmother left behind, uncovering not only a forgotten history, but the fragile connections between past and present, land and love.
