Acerca de esta escucha
Fireflies in Tunnels is a fictional story told through the eyes of two narrators: Sisters Irene and Vivian McDougall. As they tell their stories about how their family has disintegrated due to choices and secrets, these young women - in their observations and actions, respectively - reveal much about the role of responsibility for both women and men in the area of sexuality.
Irene begins the story of her sister Vivian, who escapes from their troubled Midwestern home to follow her military fiancé out to California during the Vietnam era.
Vivian then begins her account of how she stumbles into a life of prostitution in her new environment following a series of disappointments and betrayals.
Throughout the text, a variety of key characters experience the natural consequences of their actions and how they produce a ripple effect in the lives of others. In spite of the suffering that the key characters cause or endure, there is a redemptive quality in each of them that emerges as the tale unfolds.
Note: Mild sensuality and language, brief sexual assault scene.

When Marilyn Kleinman is caught making out with the rabbi’s son in front of the whole congregation, her parents ship her off to her great-aunt Ada for the summer. If anyone can save their daughter’s reputation, it’s Philadelphia’s strict premier matchmaker. Either that or Marilyn can kiss college goodbye. To Marilyn’s surprise, Ada’s not the humorless septuagenarian her mother described. Not with that platinum-blonde hair, Hermès scarf, and Cadillac convertible. She’s sharp, straight-talking, takes her job very seriously, and abides by her own rules…mostly.

The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

In turn-of-the-20th century Texas, the Berachah Home for the Redemption and Protection of Erring Girls is an unprecedented beacon of hope for young women consigned to the dangerous poverty of the streets by birth, circumstance, or personal tragedy. Built in 1903 on the dusty outskirts of Arlington, a remote dot between Dallas and Fort Worth’s red-light districts, the progressive home bucks public opinion by offering faith, training, and rehabilitation to prostitutes, addicts, unwed mothers, and “ruined” girls without forcibly separating mothers from children.
