Kristin Hannah practiced law in Seattle before becoming a full-time writer. She is a gifted author who writes about the tension that women feel in their lives--the pull between work and motherhood, between building a relationship and being strong on their own. This realistic look at the world is part of what draws her readers to her books and her characters.

The first three hundred pages of Firefly Lane are a bit silly; Hannah inserts so many pop culture references it’s artificial. The remainder of the book is much mpre natural and emotional, I couldn’t put it down.

I just finished this & it is possibly one of the best, most heartfelt, emotional books I have read in a long time.

Another good read from Hannah. This one is more focused on friendship between women. Unlike another commenter I liked the pop culture references. They were fun. Used as a device to remind you of what year it was and how time passed. Definitely a tear-jerker at the end.
