Blurb: The worth of campfire tales is that they eventually provoke truths from those telling the tales, as well as those assembled to listen.
A rite of summer brings together old Joe and his grandnieces and grandnephews to the Flat Top Wilderness of Colorado where tales are told over the warmth of a campfire. Through the telling, though, secrets emerge that will affect them all; and the magic of the night will remain them all forever.

Review: Joe keeps his great nieces and nephews each summer for a short time. He sits them around the campfire and tells them stories. Two are now teens and going through life changes and are a bit less than attentive.
I really liked this story. It is basically just a life lesson story with no real plot or action. It’s heart-warming and sweet.
If you like stories of campfire tales, life lessons, long-lasting relationship, finding courage and a lovely heart-warming, sweet story this is for you.
