Lily's Letter

Lilian has spent thirty-odd years in an abusive relationship. This story takes the form of a letter written to her older self just after she has moved away from her marriage.

She sets a goal to help herself focus on her continued escape. The goal? Her future older self.

Lily's Letter is the story of doubts, guilt, growth and thought processes of the main character as she reaches for independence from a less than happy past. This book is about forgiving yourself, moving on when the door opens, learning how to connect with yourself through nurture and passing this learning on to your children.

The story is a path to simple awareness and self-worth and of freeing yourself from past abuse. For people lucky enough never to have experienced domestic violence, the story touches chords, needs and wishes common to us all and may prompt the hand of friendship in someone's time of need.

This is a fictional tale but is woven from the real stories of many women.
