Fireflies at Nightfall

"It has made me better loving you...

it has made me wiser, and easier, and brighter."

--Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

As Tilly and Skeet prepare to embark upon a new future together, something devastating stops them cold. Would it ever come to be, especially after the shocking news they have just received? Now, as they struggle to understand what is happening, Tilly discovers that the only chance they have for a future together depends upon the help of her brother, uncorking the deep, dark secrets that Tilly had hoped to hide for the rest of her life. Can their family survive the ordeal? Fireflies at Nightfall takes an intimate look at the final hurdle that this loving couple must face before they can secure a future together that will last for all time, and the only person who can make that happen...if he so chooses.



Fireflies at Nightfall is the much-anticipated conclusion to Robin Cannon's beloved Tilly Fig trilogy. In it, she delivers a compelling story of family, friendship, and the undeniable links that exist between the two. Readers will delight in joining Tilly, Skeet, and company as they navigate life's most profound pains and simplest pleasures, learning as much about themselves as they do about each other in the process. While history holds the power to haunt us, it can also provide the impetus for healing. There's much humanity to be found within these pages--and, ultimately, an undying sense of hope.
