I wanted my daughter to know the woman behind the mother. Have success or betrayal never been a friend. Lilly's life was about to change irreversibly, never to be the same, the 12 year old girl was about to have her childhood torn from her with the first of many tragedies that would prove to be the driving force to her search for love. Passionate encounters were far and few between but she did not elude love, it eluded her. This story takes you down Lilly's road of bereavement, violence, betrayal, professional achievements and search for that once in a lifetime passionate encounter found in the most unusual of circumstances. Follow Lilly through the dark days to the two men who turned her into a woman and away from the only life she knew. This is a humorously recounted true story about a ferociously independent, extra ordinary East End girl with so much fire to succeed that it is truly inspiring.
