Firefly Lane BY: Kristin Hannah "It presents in sly and unexpected ways."

  

- I choose this video on iflammaotry Breasy Cancer Symptoms & Clinical Trials becuse in the book, one of the main character Kate, dies from this. She checked herself reguraly for the bumps, basically the regular do-it-self yourself check-up. She did know she had this type of cancer until she went for a check-up and the doctor seen it. She felt the same as she always did, like nothing was wrong with her and by the time they found it was at stage four and spreading quickly. They treated her and treated her but it all stopped working and she eventually died. If you see something irregular on your body, no matter what it is you should always immediately go show it to your doctor because you don't know how harmful or not it could be.   

-i choose this video because in the book, Firefly Lane Tully is very much so affected by her mother and her drug addiction. She left when she was young and was raised by her grandma and always had hope that her mom would eventaually come back and be her mother. She came back for her but was into drugs bad, she did not care about Tully or what she though or did. Tully was just someone their to clean the house and buy groceries. Just because she wasn't physically hurt doesn't mean that she wasn't hurt at all. She was emotionally and phyiscally damaged and thanks to her mom, letting people in was a big deal and something that she wasn't good at. Having a life like Tully had really would make you want to succeed and show your parent(s) that you better than them, you willl actually do something wtih your life. Not be a low-life kind of person like them.

What others think:

I loved reliving the 70's and 80's and 90's with them, all of the pop culture references made this a fun journey. The book is much more than just pop culture though as it follows two young girls who grow into wonderful women with very different personality - Holli

"I fell in love with Tully's character...she's so amazing and strong, but now I'm starting to admire Kate. I wish Kate could﻿ have her time to shine, I hope it happens soon..." -orangefanta22

"i must say, she knows the condition of a human heart! her name alone is a sure hit."//-khela2065// Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah is a breathtaking trip down memory lane. From 70's teens to 80's young women these two girls have more than a life time worth of memories both good and bad. The 90's usher in permanent choices and the new millineum tumbles in with, "What did I do with my life". The harsh realities of growing up aren't always kind -Terra57

= __ Memborable Quotes: __  = Tully: "No matter what, Katie. But you don't have to worry. this war won't last long. He'll be home before Marah takes her first step."

-This quote here just explains how much friendship really means. Johnny went to the Middle West because of a war over there and said he needed to prove himself because last time he failed because he got a little scared and went home. Kate and Tully are best friends and they were there for each other when any of them needed each other. They always had advice and support for eachother that would alwys make them feel better. Everyone should always have someone like Tully or Kate to go to and have support and love. Kate: "Because she's the best of both of us"

-this quote here explains how alike Mariah was of Kate and Tully. Whether she knew it or not and by saying this it really opens up Mariahs eyes when Kate gets cancer. She always despised her mom and never realized how much she was like her. Mariah hated her mom and said she would never be like her and she would be a by far better mom then Kate was to her, let her do more stuff and have fun.

"They used to be called the Firefly Lane Girls. That was a long time ago--more than three decades--but just now, as she lay in bed listening to a winter storm raging outside, it seemed like yesterday." -I choose this quote because Tully and Kate were meant to be friends forever. They were so alike in ways but so very different. No matter how many years fly by before you, you will never forget all those good times you had with your best friend. whether or not you guys are friends anymore you will always remember. No matter how mnay fights that you may have or whatever, that one special person will always be your best friend.
