a miraculous story of survival and faith. Immediately the story
bursts onto the pages with all the passion and drama of a best selling
novel. It details the life of a small town girl polarized by race,
which led to futile attempts to obtain self worth. Her life was
dramatically changed by a supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ.

and her insights along with hope, courage and inspiration through
the prism of biblical truths. Her words will minister to anyone
who is struggling with the need to make a change.
Lilly's passion is to motivate and encourage others to reach their
fullest potential by getting past physical, emotional, and spiritual
blocks. Although her affinity leans toward inspirational writing,
she finds great reward from collaborating on dark dramas and dark
comedies as well.
