If it weren't for friendship, growing up for any child
would be twice as hard. Sharing your dreams, your secret
desires, and your hopes of the future take on a new life
when whispered between two souls who promise love and
friendship until their dying day.
Tullulah Rose Hart, otherwise known as Tully, does
not live the fairytale life. Abandoned by her reckless and
drug-addicted mother, Tully is being raised by her
grandparents as they try to give her the good life she so
justly deserves. As each year passes, Tully holds on to the
dream that one day her mother will waltz back into her life
to become that ideal parent she so desperately wishes her
mom could be.
Kate Mularkey is an average girl who manages to
consistently fly below the radar. Her ultimate guilty
pleasure is to escape with a good book as she secretly
wishes that she, too, could be one of the popular girls.
Her solid family life attributes to her superb academic
success, but what's missing is that spark that identifies
who the girl behind the façade really is.
When Tully moves to Kate's hometown, what develops
is a much needed bond between two lost souls. While
embarking on their journey through adolescence, they learn
some hard lessons of life. As with any friendship, loyalty
is put to the test, disappointments are bound to happen,
and the veil of trust is unfortunately broken, but what
they learn is that true friendship always prevails.
FIREFLY LANE is a timeless story of love and
friendship. With the turn of every page, Kristin Hannah
eloquently depicts how two women can become each other's
greatest ally as well as fiercest adversary as they come to
grips with the cards each one has been dealt. What evolves
is a powerful testament of what the word forever really
means and the enormity of how someone so close can easily
and unintentionally tear you apart. Masterfully written,
emotionally charged, and peacefully uplifting...no one can
tell a story like Kristin Hannah.
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. . . .
