By Courtney Lawley
Every story has a beginning.
This is hers.
Before the chaos...
Before the heartbreak...
Before life forced her to grow up faster than she should have...
There was a girl chasing fireflies in the warm Alabama night.
Where the Fireflies Begin is a raw and heartfelt Southern memoir that follows Courtney's journey from a small-town childhood filled with dirt roads, family roots, and simple joys... into a life shaped by unexpected challenges, young motherhood, and hard lessons learned too soon.
From barefoot summers and front porch memories
to growing up in a world that didn't always go as planned...
this story captures what it really means to survive, to adapt, and to keep going when life doesn't slow down for you.
