Meg watches as the police take her father - her hero - away in a police cruiser. After a night of pacing the floor with her mother, she learns the reason they didn't bring him back. The sheriff said her father murdered someone, but she knows he's wrong. She's only seen the kindness in her daddy. He loves gardening, playing poker, and most of all, her.
Meg sets out to clear his name as she completes her senior year of high school. To earn extra money while her father is in jail, Meg tutors Owen, who needs her attention more than he needs the extra help. Even though his steady actions make her feel secure, she vows to keep her distance until she can bring her father home.
The deeper she digs into her parents' past, the more questions arise, making her wonder if anyone in her family has ever told her the truth. One secret is buried so deeply it casts a shadow over her view of her life and makes her wonder if her father is truly capable of murder.Are the shadows around her like copperheads waiting to ambush her family? Or is everyone she thinks has venom on their tongues really like fireflies, lighting the night in search of their soul mates?
