Product Information

As teenagers in the seventies, Tully Hart and Kate Mularky were inseparable. Tully, with her make-up and her halter tops, was the coolest girl in school. Kate, with her glasses and her high water jeans, was the geeky outsider. But chance and circumstance brought them together and through the decades they were devoted to each other. This was the story of Tully and Kate which began on a quiet street called Firefly Lane. Best friends forever. One of the strengths of the novel is the way in which the author explores the relationships between the characters. The bond between Tully and Kate is central to the story, and their friendship is portrayed as both powerful and complicated. Marah eventually goes to rehab and begins to turn her life around, while Lucas begins to open up and deal with his grief. Through it all, Tully learns to forgive herself for the mistakes she has made, and the characters come to realize the power of forgiveness and the importance of family and friendship.

Speaking to OprahMag.com, star Ben Lawson gives his take on his character's (somewhat intrusive) role in Tully and Kate's friendship. "He gets swept up into the orbit of Kate and Tully and this whirlwind that comes into his life," Lawson says. "Like all of the men and women who meet Tully, he's drawn to her. She's cool, magnetic, sexy, fun and smart. Then he starts to develop feelings for her and is completely blind to Kate. Over time, though, he realizes Kate is the person he wants to have a relationship with. Tully and Johnny together would be a disaster." Still, Lawson says that when you factor in decades of friendship, "there's a lot of layers by the end of it." Kate and Tully get into a major fight, which the series finale only hints at . A single, tragic choice and a middle-of-the-night phone call will bring these women together and set them on a poignant, powerful journey of redemption. Each has lost her way, and they will need each one another--and maybe a miracle--to transform their lives.

When was the last time a man had wanted her? She frowned and leaned forward, pushing the mail aside to reveal a Star magazine that lay beneath the pile. There was a small photograph of her face in the upper right corner. Not a good picture, either. Not one to be proud of. Beneath it was written a single, terrible word.

Towards the end of the book, Tully has a dream about Kate, in which Kate tells her that she loves her and that she forgives her. Tully wakes up with a sense of peace and closure, and she finally accepts that she can never replace Kate in her life but that she can honor her memory by being a better friend and a better person.He kissed her.
