Ellie, Sloan, Courtney, and Shy have been friends since they were teenage girls, and they have seen each other through many seasons of womanhood. They are now entering their 40s, and they have experienced everything together.
They have gossiped over their first kiss. They have jumped bi$%@$ and been jumped on. They've survived college. They've been each other's bridesmaids. They've consoled each other through divorces. They've experienced childbirth together. They have even done drive-bys when trying to catch cheating boyfriends.
The one thing they've learned over the years is that good friends will see you through the rain until the sun shines again. As mothers, wives, and career women, it hasn't been easy for them to stay connected, but when the holidays roll around it's the perfect excuse for their foursome to reunite. Friendsmas is the occasion and Ellie is returning home to celebrate.
When the reunion opens old wounds, they are forced to face one another and to also look in the mirror and face themselves. Before The Streetlights Come On is a book of true friendship. When the men in their lives switch up. When their children act up. When their jobs are fucked up. When the universe seems like it's cutting up; Ellie, Sloane, Courtney, and Shy tap into the power of their girl tribe to see them through when they feel like giving up.
