Description

When paramedics find a malnourished six-year-old boy near a burning car that holds a dead woman, they wonder who he is - and why he won't speak. From the New York Times best-selling author of The Mountain Between Us comes a story of self-discovery, healing, and hope.

On a stifling summer day, an old Chevy Impala ignored the warning signals and was annihilated by the oncoming train. What no one realized until much later was that the driver had paused just before entering the tracks and kicked a small boy out of the car. A small boy with broken glasses who is clutching a notebook with all his might...but who never speaks.

Chase Walker was one of the lucky ones. He was in foster care as a child, but he finally ended up with a family who loved him and cared for him. Now, as a journalist for the local paper, he’s moved on and put the past behind him. But when he’s assigned the story of this young boy, painful, haunting questions about his own childhood begin to rise to the surface.

And as Chase Walker discovers, learning the truth about who you are can be as elusive - and as magical - as chasing fireflies on a summer night.

Praise for Chasing Fireflies:

“Colorful, memorable characters; Southern regional flavor that’s drop-dead accurate; and lyrical, intelligent writing make Chasing Fireflies an exceptionally good read.” (Aspiring Retail)

“Martin understands the power of story and he uses it to alter the souls and lives of both his characters and his readers.” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times best-selling author)

  • Full-length emotive Southern fiction

Mixed feelings!

I have a mixed feelings about this book. I find the storyline interesting in parts but confusing in some other parts. I just couldn’t connect with the characters and switching between different stories from different time initiated through dialogues didn’t help.

One of our favourites

Once you figure out the scene changes, it will keep you hooked. Great story and excellently read.
My husband was obsessed with getting through it. Like it better then When Crickets Cry,but enjoyed that too.

Narrator leaves something to be desired.

He always sounds breathy and dramatic. A simple description of a car sounds like a heart stopping drama. A bit much. Plug through for a good easy listen though.
