Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah comes a powerful novel of love, loss, and the magic of friendship. . . . now a #1 Netflix series! In the turbulent summer of 1974, Kate Mularkey has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the "coolest girl in the world" moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. Tully Hart seems to have it all—beauty, brains, ambition. On the surface they are as opposite as two people can be: Kate, doomed to be forever uncool, with a loving family who mortifies her at every turn. Tully, steeped in glamour and mystery, but with a secret that is destroying her. They make a pact to be best friends forever; by summer's end they've become TullyandKate. Inseparable. So begins Kristin Hannah's magnificent new novel. Spanning more than three decades and playing out across the ever-changing face of the Pacific Northwest, Firefly Lane is the poignant, powerful story of two women and the friendship that becomes the bulkhead of their lives. From the beginning, Tully is desperate to prove her worth to the world. Abandoned by her mother at an early age, she longs to be loved unconditionally. In the glittering, big-hair era of the eighties, she looks to men to fill the void in her soul. But in the buttoned-down nineties, it is television news that captivates her. She will follow her own blind ambition to New York and around the globe, finding fame and success . . . and loneliness. Kate knows early on that her life will be nothing special. Throughout college, she pretends to be driven by a need for success, but all she really wants is to fall in love and have children and live an ordinary life. In her own quiet way, Kate is as driven as Tully. What she doesn't know is how being a wife and mother will change her . . . how she'll lose sight of who she once was, and what she once wanted. And how much she'll envy her famous best friend. . . . For thirty years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship—jealousy, anger, hurt, resentment. They think they've survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart . . . and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. Firefly Lane is for anyone who ever drank Boone's Farm apple wine while listening to Abba or Fleetwood Mac. More than a coming-of-age novel, it's the story of a generation of women who were both blessed and cursed by choices. It's about promises and secrets and betrayals. And ultimately, about the one person who really, truly knows you—and knows what has the power to hurt you . . . and heal you. Firefly Lane is a story you'll never forget . . . one you'll want to pass on to your best friend.

Book Three - Butterfly Lane. A marriage in trouble. Two broken hearts. Can they heal their wounds and find each other again? Book Four - Dragonfly Creek. Can a second chance at a first love work? Book Five - Cattail Ridge. Their biggest obstacle to happily-ever-after is convincing themselves they both deserve a chance at a new beginning… Book Six - Cricket Cove.

Been there, done that. As far as Rachel is concerned, one relationship with a cop was more than enough for this lifetime. She’s forty-seven, her son is in college, and she isn’t looking for love. Especially not with the gorgeous state trooper twelve years her junior who just moved in across the street.

Or will the agony of the past be too much for them to overcome? Ben loved Ainsley with his whole heart, but she married someone else and left him shattered. Five years later, he still hasn't healed. His heart still aches for her, but he's determined to move on and build a life without her. Ainsley has had her own struggles to overcome. After years of addiction, she's finally found stability and is determined to put the past behind her. But returning to the small town where she lost so much brings back memories she's been trying to forget. Cattail Ridge Sometimes, love is the hardest obstacle of all. For five years, Archer has loved Emma from afar, watching her from the sidelines as she raised her daughter and built a life for herself. He's never been brave enough to tell her how he feels, always convinced that he's not good enough for her. But when a single, passionate kiss changes everything, Archer is forced to confront his deepest fears and take a chance on love. Emma has always been a survivor, but she never expected to find love again. She's been hurt before, and she's not sure she's ready to open her heart to anyone else. But when Archer comes into her life, all of her doubts and fears begin to melt away. He's kind, compassionate, and deeply in love with her, and she can't help but be swept up in his arms. But as they explore their newfound love, Archer and Emma are haunted by their pasts. They must confront their deepest fears and insecurities if they want to build a future together. Can they find the courage to take a risk on love, or will their pasts keep them apart forever? Cricket Cove They say love is a battlefield, but for Amelia and Logan, it's a warzone. Amelia has a gift for matchmaking, but when it comes to her own love life, she's lost. That is, until Logan, her best friend's brother, comes to town. He's the kind of man who makes her heart race and her head spin, but he's also stubborn and guarded, with enough emotional armor to keep her at arm's length. Logan has been through the worst that life has to offer, and he's not sure he's ready to let anyone in, especially not Amelia. She's a ray of sunshine in his dark world, but he's seen too much darkness to believe in something as pure as her light. Yet, no matter how hard he tries to resist her, he keeps getting drawn back to her, like a moth to a flame. As they navigate their complicated feelings for each other, a dangerous threat looms on the horizon, putting Amelia's life in danger. Logan will have to confront his demons and use all the skills he learned as a soldier to keep her safe. But when the enemy finally reveals its face, will that be enough to protect her from harm?

And Rowena has a lot more at stake in giving her all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever stopped to think, Maybe the Amish are on to something? Look around. We tweet while we drive, we talk while we text, and we surf the Internet until we fall asleep. We are essentially plugged in and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Rather than mastering technology, we have allowed technology to master us. We are an exhausted nation. No one has enough time, everyone feels stressed out, and our kids spend more hours staring at a screen each week than they do playing outside. It’s time to simplify our lives, make faith and family the focal point, and recapture the lost art of simple living. Building on the basic principles of Amish life, Nancy Sleeth shows readers how making conscious choices to limit (and in some cases eliminate) technology’s hold on our lives and getting back to basics can help us lead calmer, more focused, less harried lives that result in stronger, deeper relationships with our families, friends, and God.

Book excerpt: Discover the power, joy, and love of living a present, authentic, and intentional life despite a world full of distractions. If technology is the new addiction, then multitasking is the new marching order. We check our email while cooking dinner, send a text while bathing the kids, and spend more time looking into electronic screens than into the eyes of our loved ones. With our never-ending to-do lists and jam-packed schedules, it's no wonder we're distracted. But this isn't the way it has to be. Special education teacher, New York Times bestselling author, and mother Rachel Macy Stafford says enough is enough. Tired of losing track of what matters most in life, Rachel began practicing simple strategies that enabled her to momentarily let go of largely meaningless distractions and engage in meaningful soul-to-soul connections. Finding balance doesn't mean giving up all technology forever. And it doesn't mean forgoing our jobs and responsibilities. What it does mean is seizing the little moments that life offers us to engage in real and meaningful interaction. In these pages, Rachel guides you through how to: Acknowledge the cost of your distraction Make purposeful connection with your family Give your kids the gift of your undivided attention Silence your inner critic Let go of the guilt from past mistakes And move forward with compassion and gratefulness So join Rachel and go hands-free. Discover what happens when you choose to open your heart--and your hands--to the possibilities of each God-given moment.
