When they were four years old, Anna and Lily promised to be best friends for life, to sit side by side next to each other in their wheelchairs in the nursing home. But can a childhood promise survive the forces of Time and Space? LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR presents the friendship of Anna and Lily “against the life of the stars,” taking us on a journey through time, from prom to the nursing home, on cross-country road trips and intergalactic space expeditions. A coming-of-age story told over 90 years, LIFE CYCLE OF A STAR asks: can you really promise someone a lifetime?
