Lilly's Story Martha McCarty

Being the youngest child in a family of six, Lilly was reared alone in a small rural Mississippi community by her widowed mother, after the death of her father and the marriages of all her siblings. Having grown up without her father or any brothers, she finds herself not knowing how to accept or deal with the attentions of two very different and yet persistent young men. Mother had given her much through the years, the most valuable being one little piece of advice. If only she had paid better attention to what Mama had said.
