A powerful new book about love and loss and the wonder of friendship...
By the summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey had come to terms with the fact that her place in eighth grade society was at the bottom of the food chain. Then, to his astonishment, the "coolest girl in the world" moves into the house across the street and wants to be friends with him. Tully Hart seems to have it all: beautiful, smart, ambitious. On the face of it, they couldn't be more different. Kate has no hope of ever being among the cool with her loving family who shame her every step of the way. Tully, on the other hand, is full of mystery and glamour, but inside she is consumed by a secret. The two of them vow to be friends forever, and by the end of the summer they will become "Tully and Kate", inseparable friends.

So begins Kristin Hannah's great new novel. Spanning more than three decades and set in the Pacific Northwest, The Firefly Girls is a poignant, powerful story of two women and a friendship that will define their lives.
