About this deal

She looked up into his blue eyes and felt the weight of her loneliness. When was the last time a man had wanted her? The story begins with Tully returning to Seattle for Kate’s funeral, where she realizes the extent of the damage that her absence had caused. She tries to reconnect with Kate’s family but faces resistance from Marah, who is struggling to cope with her mother’s death. Marah turns to drugs and alcohol, and her relationship with Johnny becomes strained.

Tully Hart has always been larger than life, a woman fueled by big dreams and driven by memories of a painful past. She thinks she can overcome anything until her best friend, Kate Ryan, dies. Tully tries to fulfill her deathbed promise to Kate--to be there for Kate's children--but Tully knows nothing about family or motherhood or taking care of people. Marah eventually goes to rehab and begins to turn her life around, while Lucas begins to open up and deal with his grief. Through it all, Tully learns to forgive herself for the mistakes she has made, and the characters come to realize the power of forgiveness and the importance of family and friendship. Damn you, Katie Ryan," she whispered to the best friend who wasn't there. This loneliness was unbearable. But her best friend was gone. Dead. That was what had started all of it. Losing Kate. How pitiful was that? Tully had begun to plummet at her best friend's death and she hadn't been able to pull out of the dive. "I need you." Then she screamed it: "I need you!" Once, a long time ago, I walked down a night-darkened road called Firefly Lane, all alone, on the worst night of my life, and I found a kindred spirit. That was our beginning. More than thirty years ago. TullyandKate. You and me against the world. Best friends forever. But stories end, don't they? You lose the people you love and you have to find a way to go on. . . .She was sitting in a restroom stall, slumped over, with tears drying on her cheeks. How long had she been here? She got slowly to her feet and left the bathroom, pushing her way through the theater's crowded lobby, ignoring the judgmental looks cast her way by the beautiful people drinking champagne beneath a glittering nineteenth century chandelier. The movie must be over. As she approached Virginia Street, a bright pink MARTINI BAR sign caught her attention. A few people were clustered together outside the front door, smoking and talking beneath a protective overhang. As the story unfolds, Tully and the rest of Kate’s family must learn to come to terms with their loss and find a way to move forward. Tully, in particular, struggles with her own demons as her career as a talk show host falls apart and her personal life becomes a mess. She must learn to confront her past and face her problems head-on.

Sixteen-year-old Marah Ryan is devastated by her mother's death. Her father, Johnny, strives to hold the family together, but even with his best efforts, Marah becomes unreachable in her grief. Nothing and no one seems to matter to her ... until she falls in love with a young man who makes her smile again and leads her into his dangerous, shadowy world. One of the strengths of the novel is the way in which the author explores the relationships between the characters. The bond between Tully and Kate is central to the story, and their friendship is portrayed as both powerful and complicated.
