Fly Away, Kristin Hannah, 2024, 400 pages, 18+

Young Tully and Kate were inseparable in the seventies, "best friends forever"—that's what they called themselves and believed their friendship truly was eternal. Tully dreamed of becoming a famous journalist—and she did, while Kate simply wanted to be happy—and so 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 each other for a moment. And when true trouble came, they were together again. But some troubles no friendship can withstand. Kate couldn't fight off her illness, and as she passed away, she made Tully promise to look after her children.

Time passes, but neither Kate's daughter, nor her husband, nor her best friend can reconcile with Kate's death. Tully sincerely tried to keep her promise, but no matter how hard she tried, everything went wrong.
And 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, goes off the rails, not knowing how to cope with the grief that won't let her go. And Tully's own mother, whom Tully barely knows, decides to return and try to mend relations with her daughter.

Behind the three women are heavy histories, shattered dreams, and destroyed hopes. And one day, they will converge at a single point, on the very border of 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. A book about love and forgiveness, about second chances and the belief that even death cannot sever true friendship.
