In every life there are secrets... Kat Mallory's secret was first revealed around a campfire. She would never forget looking into the faces of her three cousins that night. Sensible Gin, whose level-headed, sarcastic exterior disguised a perceptive and sensitive heart. Boisterous Bette, whose mouth would get the whole group into a lot of trouble but whose ferocious and loyal nature would often protect them as well. Bette's twin sister, Barb, promiscuous by nature, but whose compassion keeps the group at peace when they need it most. These three unlikely candidates instantly became more than family when the shy and cultured Kat entrusted them with her heaviest burden of all-the fact that her stepfather, Carl, had been molesting her. And the cousins keep that "secret" for her, guarding it as if it were their own.

Kat never dreamed that three years later, she would be standing over Carl's body, looking into those same faces, wondering if they could keep the mother of all campfire secrets.

Murder.

Now, they must all decide: what will they do with this "campfire secret?"

With the mix of Southern Fiction flare, dark comedy, and intrigue, Campfire Secrets uses humor and brutal honesty to explore the question: just how far will a person go to protect someone they love?
