From the author of the bestsellers Velika Glushina and Four Winds - a powerful novel about love, loss and the magic of friendship...
They met in the summer of 1974—Kate Malarkey, so unassuming that she had lost all her friends by the eighth grade, and her new neighbor Tully Hart, "the coolest girl in the world." Two girls, as different as two people can be. But Kate, shy and brooding, has something that the bright and ambitious Tully needs, and generously shares it with her. They promise each other to remain best friends forever and become inseparable by the end of the summer.
Going through changes with their generation—changing hairstyles, singing new songs, watching different TV shows, operating in different social and political circumstances—Kate and Tully have supported each other for more than three decades. They overcome jealousy, anger, resentment, misunderstanding, until their friendship faces the worst test - betrayal. Will Tully, who has reached the highest level of fame, be able to understand her housewife friend? Can Kate overcome her own prejudices and pain?
Firefly Alley is more than a coming-of-age novel, it is the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choice. This is a story about promises, secrets and betrayals. And, after all, about the only person who truly knows you and understands what can hurt you and can heal you. Firefly Alley is a novel you'll never forget, one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.
