Description
Lila, a woman with a complex past, seeks refuge in a small Iowa church during a storm. Her life is forever changed when she meets John Ames, a widowed minister who takes her in and offers her a sense of security.
As Lila navigates her new life, she must reconcile the hardships of her past with the gentle worldview of her husband. Born into a life of poverty and neglect, Lila was rescued by Doll, a young drifter, and brought up on the road. Together, they formed a bond that sustained them through difficult times.
This moving novel explores the mysteries of existence and the power of human connection. With its characteristic prose and nuanced characters, Lila is a thought-provoking exploration of love, loss, and redemption.
