Much of this book has been written for years. However, it has not been available to the public until now for two reasons. One, Lilly asked me not to pursue publication of it until her death. Some of the events of the book were simply too painful for her to face publicly. The second reason is that I did not have a satisfactory ending which made sense and which tied things together. It was obviously an incomplete story.
Both reasons for holding back on publication were met in the days leading up to and including the week preceding Easter 2022. Lilly passed away on March 31st and the surprise ending came to me on Easter Sunday.
As you read this book may you be touched by Lilly's compassion, her unique sense of right and wrong and the hope which sustained her.
