Kao zvijezda u noći

Kao zvijezda u noći

Kristin Hannah

An emotionally complex, touching novel about love, motherhood, loss and new beginnings that reminds us that love is the most powerful life force.

Tully Hart has always been larger than life, a woman driven by big dreams and tormented by memories of a painful past. She is invincible until the moment her best friend Kate Ryan dies, after which her carefully arranged life and semblance of security crumbles like a house of cards. Tully is trying to keep the promise she made to Kate on her deathbed - to always be there for Kate's children - but what does she know about motherhood and caring for other people? Sixteen-year-old Marah Ryan is devastated by her mother's death. Her father Johnny tries desperately to keep the family together, but he loses touch with Marah, who is drowning in her own grief. It seems as if no one and nothing matter to her... until she falls in love with a young man who brings her smile back to her face and takes her into his dangerous, dark world. Dorothy Hart – a hippie who once went by the name Cloud – is at the center of Tully's tragic past. Dorothy wants to make amends and finally be a mother to her daughter, but in order to succeed, she must face her darkest fears and uncover ugly secrets from her own past. As Tully sinks into drug addiction and alcoholism, Marah fights over squats, and Dorothy finds no way to get close to her daughter, they all seem irretrievably lost to each other. Until another tragic event changes everything...
