The Other Side of Lilly

A most rewarding novel for the reader, as the protagonist Lillian Lightwood struggles to find a successful place in life and win over adversity. Lilly has been a victim all her life. She has survived a Dickensian childhood in Scotland where she was treated as a slave by her grandmother, an abusive marriage in Australia, the loss of her children in a bitter divorce, and a disfiguring car accident. She fights back with the help of one of Sydney’s leading psychiatrists, and a skilled plastic surgeon. Now, Lilly seems to have it all - an exciting relationship with the plastic surgeon, a fabulous job with one of Sydney’s top art galleries. But manic gallery owner Eva Goldberg, an accusation of art theft, an ultimatum from the surgeon, and Lilly’s determination to win back her children will show a side few have ever seen - the steely, assertive, successful woman. The Other Side of Lilly takes the reader through Lilly’s fight to overcome the demons of the past, to finally be in a position, physically, emotionally, and financially to go into battle to reclaim her children.
