Publisher's Synopsis
"Bonfire Confessions" is a tale of loss, friendship, self-forgiveness, and rebirth. Four strangers with buried secrets meet on a long bus trip, and form a bond they cannot break. Three of them interrupt their plans, and join Dan in his quest to fix up his parents' house after they are brutally murdered. They spend their days fixing up the old place, and their nights purging their inner demons over a series of backyard bonfire confessions, through a haze of booze and marijuana. Set against a mid-west town decimated by the collapse of the automobile industry, the foursome create their own support group, and they give Dan the courage to decide whether to start his life anew in the town of his youth, or return to the wife who no longer seems to want him. As the house is rebuilt, so too are the lives of four strangers who become lifelong friends.
