A Love Like Lilly introduces two new, true-to-life stories woven together. The story begins in the summer of 1985 after Grandma Lilly’s funeral when Jamie (James to her friends) discovers her grandpa’s old photo album from the 1930s – his “wild” days serving as a teenager in the “CCC’s” in Utah during the Depression. Between the photo album and her grandpa’s stories, she discovers a little-known past about her grandparents, Harold and Lilly, and the unusual circumstances that brought and kept them together. In that sixteenth summer of her life, James discovers a lot of things about herself, too: her shock when Grandpa begins “dating” again, and her jealousy when her childhood best friend, Kyle, shows interest in other girls. Jamie learns that no one ever stops learning and that, although life is hard, there are second chances and new beginnings for everyone. (Author website)
