After being raised by her grandparents in Seattle, 14-year-
old Tallulah Hart has been uprooted by her estranged
mother, Cloud, and moved to a small town outside Seattle.
The cool and popular Tully shares her worst secret with
Katie Mularkey, the nerdy girl across the street; and a
close, albeit unlikely, friendship forms between them. They
both aspire to be TV journalists working side-by-side;
their motto being "best friends forever."
Following their graduation from college, the steadfast
friends share an apartment and begin their careers. After
over 30 years of friendship, Tully has become a famous TV
news personality, while Katie has married a producer and
become a mother. The two women have many ups and downs, but
their passionate friendship continues until Tully tries to
help Katie's rocky relationship with her teen daughter.
Tully creates a wedge between her and Katie that neither
can forgive. When real tragedy strikes, will their love and
devotion be able to bring them together again?
Kristin Hannah has succeeded again with FIREFLY
LANE. She's spun one of the most moving and passionate
stories I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time.
The tender and poignant tale of love and devotion between
long-time friends is heart wrenching, yet beautiful. If you
gain nothing else from this novel, you will realize that
neither success nor money truly matters in this life more
than the love we share for one another. Emotionally moved,
readers will truly love FIREFLY LANE.
From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth
to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she
longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-
hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void
in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is
television news that captivates her. She will follow her
own blind ambition to New York and around the globe,
finding fame and success . . . and loneliness.
Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special.
Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for
success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and
have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet
way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn’t know is
how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how
she’ll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once
wanted. And how much she’ll envy her famous best
friend. . . .
