In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all―beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. 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. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship―jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you―and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend. Review: More Than It Seems - When I began reading "Fire Fly Lane," I almost tossed it aside as fodder for another chick flick. It was a book club assignment; no need to torture myself. But I gave it a second chance and discovered a poignant story of a lifelong friendship between two women beginning when they were teenagers and following the ups and downs that most people face in one form or another. The effects of family dynamics on how children develop and handle the vagaries of life show the differences between Kate and Tully and their choices of life styles, their values, and what they contribute to their relationship and relationships with others. Tully's mother deserts her at birth, then drifts in and out of her life, each time heaping devastation on her. The one constant is her grandmother, who raised her most of her life. In contrast, Kate is raised in a loving family. Tully never overcame the scars of childhood, even though Kate's family took her in and treated her as one of their own. They were, however, primarily responsible for her success in life, though that success came at great personal cost, and almost finished off her friendship with Kate. The strong work ethic she developed over time paid off in a big way Tully's dream was to become a reporter and eventually a network news anchor. She planned her life and Kate's, too. They were to be the dream team dream. Bigger than life Tully dragged an increasingly ambivalent Kate along, setting the stage for a life of disappointment and betrayal for Kate as Tully became taken by the story at the expense of the subjects. She became more successful as she vied for the man Kate loved. Through Kate's meteoric rise to fame, she unabashedly used Kate for a story with no regard for feelings, seriously jepordizing the friendship. Each time, Tully talked Kate into taking her back--never apologizing and somehow turning it around so that Kate was the one apologizing instead of Tully. One thing Kate never forgot, however, was that Tully was once involved with her husband. And that strand of uncertainty threads through the story, appears and disappears. Tully never changes, never apologizes for who she is. Then a sudden twist turns all their lives upside down. All the old fears and insecurities rise to the surface. Tully is thrown together with Kate and her family. Kate's daughter, who idolizes Tully, causes problems when Tully, her godmother, lavishes expensive gifts on her and disagrees with Kate over discipline issues. The result is powerful and tears at the very fabric of their lives. These old insecurities Tully has from childhood are met with a Kate who no longer stays in the background but stands up to her. The explosive ending changes everything and forces them to reassess their lives and what they all mean to each other. The characters are three dimensional and believable reflect reflection of life. Everyone can identify with something in the book. The pathos of growing up in Tully's home, the contrasting loving home in which Kate grew up. The give and take--the mostly take on Tully's side and her neediness. The choices each of them made and the cost in life terms because of those choices. "Firefly Lane" explores the inner depth of the human spirit and the strength it has when dealt a bad hand--the resilience of the spirit, and the strength of friendship when tested under the worst of circumstances. For this, I recommend it as a five star read. Give it a chance. If you put it down too soon, you'll miss out on a truly heart rending commentary on human feelings and emotions--the ability to sieze the best and find that that extrordinary fount of courage within to handle the worst that life throws at us. I am glad I kept reading. When I neared the end, I had to put it down for several days before I could finish it. Without realizing it, I had made an emotional investment in the characters and needed time to step back for awhile. That was a first. Something about "Firefly Lane" resonated in me. Review: What does it take to become lifelong friends? - Kristin Hannah is an exquisite writer! Many of her books bring tears, at least for me, but somehow this one (which evolved into a series) touched me very, very much. Great characters, wonderful settings, and a complex but absorbing story. Two girls who live across the street from each other in Snohomish, WA, not far from Seattle, are very different--one has everything she could want, and the other has almost nothing. One has a family, one has an aged aunt, who dies, leaving her the owner of property she can't live in because she's too young to live alone legally. Kate's family takes her in. Tully is complex and driven, wanting a big life that can fulfill all her wishes to become someone important. Kate, who is a cared for and loved child, is not too sure of what she wants. So, she follows Tully into a plan for college and working together and being lifelong friends. How that plan plays out is what makes the book so readable and wonderful. ## Features - Great product! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,264 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #37 in Family Saga Fiction #39 in Friendship Fiction (Books) #71 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 60,075 Reviews | ## Images ![Firefly Lane: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Fqo5QznlL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More Than It Seems *by M***M on June 17, 2014* When I began reading "Fire Fly Lane," I almost tossed it aside as fodder for another chick flick.

Tully was beautiful, carefree and confident, but with the hidden conviction that she wasn't good enough. that was the only seemingly reasonable explanation for why her mother couldn't stick around for more than a couple months, forcing her back to her grandmothers home time and time again. at times childish, and always selfish, Tully's character could definitely be irksome, but her drive and focus was so appreciable, that it was difficult to not like her at least some of the time. Kate was a quiet, honest country girl with the perfect family, but with the average sort of looks that got her sidelined in the popularity contests of life. despite their friendship, she was constantly in the shadow of Tully, which served as a constant reminder that she wasn't good enough. her character was naive, but persistent, with a firm belief in love and good things, and was instantly likable, despite her misgivings. the two girls secretly envied each other and that ultimately brought them even closer together. through the decades, high school, onto college, jobs, boyfriends - no matter what life dished out, they stuck with their mantra to be there for each other, no matter what. although the plot revolves around these two girls, the real beauty comes when Hannah takes time to reflect on their vastly differing relationships with their mothers, their careers, and eventually the men of their lives. she writes with a simplicity that many have criticized as lacking depth, but i didn't find that to be true. granted, it isn't a literary award winning book, but Hannah does write well. the honesty and emotion that exists between the characters is anything but shallow, and despite the fact that the girls-become-women never really outgrow some of their childish mannerisms, i wasn't put off at all. i've left a lot of details of this review to avoid spoilers, but there really is just so much beauty that happens between the two covers of this book that i would recommend it to any woman out there. just be sure to bring your tissue for this one. "That was the thing about best friends. Like sisters and mothers, they could piss you off and make you cry and break your heart, but in the end, when the chips were down, they were there, making you laugh even in your darkest hours." for more of my reviews, please visit [...] ## Frequently Bought Together - Firefly Lane: A Novel - The Great Alone: A Novel - Fly Away --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8081849-firefly-lane-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8081849-firefly-lane-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
