Synopsis: Lilly Blyly is the epitome of a free spirit. She seeks freedom to exist in a world of kindness and unconditional acceptance. She also longs for the freedom to love and be loved but not held too tightly. She needs to breathe, make her own mistakes, and forge ahead in pure utopian fashion. Yet, as a visionary and artist, Lilly holds a sadness and feeling of disconnection within. Her moods bend and change, sometimes without warning, and move into darker, more haunting places. She lies in bed for several days, only rising to use the bathroom. She needs this escape. It is a time of recovery from the chaos of life. Lilly's journey has been long and arduous, but she has a story to tell. Overcoming childhood trauma, addiction, and mental illness, she has found her highest calling and shares her experience to empower and enlighten the collective. Lilly transmutes her pain into progress. We too can rewrite our stories, no matter how tragic or tumultuous. Follow Lilly on a journey to find her soul. Perhaps you may even find your own.

My Review: This book I think will not appeal to everyone. It was written in a way where the book is telling and explaining things to you vs. just telling/showing you a story. In some aspects I think this worked well for this book and I think if this would have been in audio form it would have been even better. Because, you would have gotten the full effect of someone telling you a story. The dialogue throughout the story, creates a well rounded tale where you aren't just listening to someone talk about someone else. It really grounds you into the story that is Lily and her life. I enjoyed learning more about her in this very short less than 100 page tale. I could see someone reading this while at the beach or just taking it easy for the day. Since it would be very quickly read. I would really enjoy if the author came back with one of the stories that Lily wrote herself. I think that would be very interesting to read one of those after learning about her.
