Aunt Lillian

Aunt Lillian is a chilling story of bitterness and unforgiveness. It is a memoir that compels the reader to jump out of the author’s life and into his own family. As he or she “river rafts” through many sequences, forgiveness becomes an imposing personal challenge. It is never an easy fix. Sometimes it’s a long drawn out process, sometimes an immediate decision, and tragically, sometimes never happening at all. The choice we make to forgive or not to forgive has far-reaching effects. Under The Peach Tree is also a memoir, depicting the life and death of the author’s fourteen-year old son. It is meant to be a hope and encouragement to those who have lost children. It is a companion book to Aunt Lillian because of a decision to forgive the “unforgivable.”
