Through KB's eyes, 'What the Fireflies Knew' is an ode to Black girlhood and adolescence. After her father's overdose and the loss of their Detroit home, KB and her sister Nia are sent to live with their estranged grandfather in Lansing. Over a scorching summer, KB grapples with a world in flux. Her father's reputation, her mother's distant smile, her sister's unfamiliarity, and her grandfather's silence challenge her. Neighbors are friendly, yet secretive. As KB oscillates between resentment, abandonment, and loneliness, she must forge her own identity and find her voice. This dazzling and moving novel explores family, identity, and race, revealing the heartbreaking yet necessary truth that loved ones are flawed, and the perfect family looks different up close.
