Hi, Cindy,
Could you add me to your list? I was on it, had some phone problems and ISP problems. It took a couple of weeks to resolve things. I'm afraid some emails got bounced around, and I got bounced from a list or two. I'm finally convinced that it's safe to ask if you can add me again. Thank you. 

Brenda Mueller

Lana, and anyone else who is new and doesn't know about list I
send out and wants it: Mary Anne and I provide synopses for the PQ books that are added by Carrie daily and nightly. I check the Browse New Books frequently during the day and night, and when Carrie has finished posting the additions to the collection, I add the books to my email list--English language books only. I delete a couple of lines that are repetitious, add whether they're fiction or nonfiction, juvenile, children's or Young Adult; and, if necessary, add short synopses, including replacing quoted reviews, which we aren't supposed to have, with short synopses. Thus when I email the list of Books Added to the 117 people who have asked for them, all the books on the list have short synopses. I also send the short synopses to Allison, who will, as soon as she has a chance, add them to the books in the collection, so sooner or later they will be there. Allison and some other volunteers 
also write short synopses for PQ books.
If anyone wants to receive my list of books added,m just pet me
know, either by posting here or writing to me at popularplace@xxxxxxxxxx

And things were going so well, but here are those pesky
publisher qualities back, with no synopses either in the
new book list or once you've linked the book.  I
thought that, except for one or two now and then, we'd
gotten past that.
So disapointed.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] Kristin Hannah submitted to
step one







I have just submitted Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah

to step one. I forgot to strip headers before submitting,
but most scannos have been removed. Also, page breaks, and
chapter headings have been protected. Here is the synopsis.



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--combeauty, 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 reallywants

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--comjealousy, 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--comand 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.

do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can
do.
