Some books entertain us while we're reading them. Others quietly stay with us, leaving such a lasting impression that we find ourselves returning to them years later. Firefly Lane is one of those stories for me. This month's Shelf Reflection explores friendship, motherhood, and how the same book can reveal something entirely different depending on where we are in life.

No one prepares you for the season of motherhood that begins when your children no longer need you every day. A personal reflection on identity, grief, gratitude, and learning to embrace a new chapter without letting go of the love that shaped it.
