Firefly Lane Series Books in Order

The Firefly Lane series by Kristin Hannah follows the decades-long friendship between Tully Hart and Kate Mularkey — two women who meet as teenagers on Firefly Lane in 1974 and whose friendship survives everything that adult life throws at it: career success and failure, marriage, motherhood, grief, and the specific ways that women's friendships are tested by the competing demands of lives. Hannah writes female friendship with the emotional depth and honesty that has made her one of contemporary fiction's most beloved authors.

The first novel Firefly Lane (2008) spans thirty years of Tully and Kate's friendship with Hannah's characteristic combination of warmth, genuine heartbreak, and the specific details of women's lives across different eras. The sequel Fly Away (2013) continues the story after the first novel's devastating ending, following the survivors as they navigate grief and what comes after.

The Netflix adaptation of Firefly Lane brought a new generation of readers to the novels, with many reporting that the books are even more emotionally powerful than the series. Begin with Firefly Lane (2008).
