In the seventies, young Tully and Kate were inseparable; they called themselves "best friends forever" and believed their friendship truly would last forever. Tully dreamed of becoming a famous journalist — and she did; Kate simply wanted to be happy — and she was: a loving husband, beloved children, a wonderful home... Tully and Kate's paths diverged and converged again; they could go years without speaking, but never forgot about each other for a moment. And when real trouble struck, they were together again. But there are some troubles that no friendship can withstand. Kate could not overcome her illness and, as she was passing, made Tully promise to take care of her children.
Time passes, but neither her daughter, nor her husband, nor her best friend can come to terms with Kate's death. Tully sincerely tried to fulfill the promise she made, but no matter how hard she tried, everything went wrong. Now, four years have passed since Kate's death, during which Tully not only cared for her children but practically destroyed her own life. Sixteen-year-old Marah, Kate's daughter, is spiraling out of control, not knowing how to cope with the grief that won't let her go. And Tully's own mother, whom she barely knows, decides to return and try to mend their relationship. Behind these three women lie difficult stories, shattered dreams, and destroyed hopes. And one day, they will meet at a single point, on the very border between life and death.
This novel is the second part of Kristin Hannah's famous book "Firefly Lane," which began the epic story of Kate and Tully's friendship. It is a book about love and forgiveness, second chances, and the belief that true friendship is not even broken by death.
