Firefly Lane is a beautiful story of a friendship that spans three decades.

Tully and Kate have been through so much together—a wild roller coaster ride of a friendship. It’s a touching look at the promises, secrets, and sacrifices that bond the two.

A powerful story of treasured friends that made me think of my best friend who I’ve been friends with for thirty years as well.

We’ve had our ups and downs too, but we have always found our way back to each other.

What is my book about?

A story you'll never forget about survival, forgiveness, healing, and love.

Twenty years ago. A plane crash. Three women survivors are inexorably connected by fate, destiny, and a cause. 

Julie Geiger, a flight attendant, told five sets of parents to place their babies on the floor of the plane when it was going down. Now, she must live with the consequences. Will changing the emergency rules bring her healing and forgiveness? And where does love fit into her life now?

Marie Stanley lost her baby boy on that flight. And she knows exactly who to blame. Julie. The problem is that vindictiveness festers. And eats into your soul. How will Marie learn to move past her hate and save her marriage in the process?

Paige Montgomery, the lap baby who survived the flight, would love to forget it ever happened. After all, she’s happy. And she’s on the cusp of a new relationship. How will she learn to forge her own path, one that integrates all the elements of her past, including the crash, the loss of her parents, and her subsequent adoption?
