Lilys Gift, A Story of Sacrifice

Secrecy has become a way of life for the woman formerly known as Lily Thompson. While the shooting of her husband, Benny, was self-defense, taking her adopted daughter, Ashley, and living on the run was a choice. Now she has new reasons to fear apprehension, and a greater will to do more than survive.

After changing their names, Blair and her daughter, Clema, flit from town to town, never staying anywhere too long or allowing anyone to grow too close. A work injury settlement leads to a new start in St. Clair, California, where Blair hopes to give Clema the chance to grow up as she deserves.

The fear of capture has given them a distrust of strangers, yet the offer of friendship from writer Max Fletcher, his grandson Liam, and even the mysterious Tobias is a step toward normalcy. But friendships can be riskier than they realize, as the past catches up, and the deception of their lives is about to be revealed.

And Lily discovers her greatest gift is the power of love.
