Young Tully and Kate were inseparable in the seventies, "best friends forever" — that’s how they referred to themselves and believed that their friendship would indeed last forever. Tully dreamed of becoming a famous journalist — and she became one,... while Kate simply wanted to be happy — and she was: a loving husband, beloved children, a wonderful home... Tully's and Kate's paths diverged and converged again; they could go years without communicating, but they never forgot each other for a moment. And when real trouble came, they were together again. But no friendship can withstand some tragedies. Kate could not cope with her illness and, as she was leaving, made Tully promise to take care of her children.

Time goes on, but neither Kate's 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 turned out wrong.
And now, four years after Kate's death, during which Tully not only took care of her children but practically destroyed her own life. Sixteen-year-old Mara, Kate's daughter, is getting into serious trouble, not knowing how to cope with the grief that doesn't let her go. And Tully's own mother, whom she hardly knows, decides to return and try to mend her relationship with her daughter.

Behind the backs of these three women lie heavy stories, shattered dreams, and destroyed hopes. And one day they will converge at one point, on the very edge of life and death.

This novel is the second part of the famous book by Kristin Hannah “Firefly Lane,” which began the epic story of Kate and Tully’s friendship. It is a book about love and forgiveness, about second chances and the belief that true friendship cannot be severed even by death.
