Chapter 1 "Fiery Secrets" by Stephanie McCall, part 6: She smiled. “That doesn’t matter. You were great with Fiona.” “Thanks.” He glanced down. “Not as good as I’d like to be.” Grace cleared her throat. “She likes you, and I can tell you took time to get to know her.” Why did that thought warm her down to her toes? She pushed the warmth away. “Fiona loves the American Girls Collection.” Chris nodded. “She hangs on every word of that book, and she’s asking questions about the Civil War. Then again, the whole town’s got Civil War fever, even kids. There’s a legend that says a Confederate ghost still hangs around here, and you know kids and ghost stories.” “I do.” Bittersweet emotions swirled in her chest. She didn’t let Jacob read anything explicitly frightening, but he loved spy and mystery stories, whose characters sometimes mistook criminal activities for ghosts. Yet, his thirst for adventure dried up when faced with the real world. No thanks to Kyle. Grace glanced at the ceiling. Father, help me heal my son this summer. Please. She refocused on Chris before her thoughts sent her into a downward spiral. “Do you have other students?” Pre-order now at amazon/Fiery-Secrets-Stephanie-McCall/dp/1938708164/ Comes out July 2!!
