Great Read (Review by Wanda)

Such a trying time. Two brothers who had different beliefs about how things should be in their country while the remainder of their family really just wanted peace. A book about the trials of a war all around the family, yet the family had to go on as best as they could with their daily lives. This takes place toward the end of slavery and with this family the slaves are a part of the family. You see the mistrust among the neighbors and what had been friends as this Civil War has come about. You see the brothers as they show a dislike for each other, yet there is love underneath their emotions. You watch as other family members love and care for each other no matter how they feel about the war. At times could be depressing, yet shows how tough the sister of the family learned to become.

My heart breaks from the story told in this book.

The story is about the Civil War in Missouri and how it affected one family. Geoff fought for the United States of America and his brother Daniel fought for the preservation of individual rights. Their sister, Lettie, believed that war is inevitable whenever one person forces his or her will on another and the other pushes back but useless because nothing can be resolved until talking settles the matter. Ellen Gray Massey shows some of the pain and heartbreak possible when war splits a family.

This book was a free read from Amazon.

Members Reviews:

LOVELY STORY WELL WORTH READING

Back in the early 1900s when the main part of this story was set, women were treated appallingly. Lily, now in a nursing home, reminisces auot her childhood and speculates on what happened to her sister, Violet.

This is a beautifully written story covering many aspects of women's lives at that time. To say there are some surprises is not exaggerating. I don't want to give any spoilers so I will just urge anyone who comes across this relatively short novella to read it. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful

One of the best books I've read all year. Lily--a beautiful person who suffered many tragedies in her lifetime. The writer had the uncanny knack of putting a reader right in the middle of the story. I felt so close to them. The ending is one of the most beautiful and moving finishes I have ever encountered. If I had to label it, I'd say that it was soulful. I know it left quite an impact on me. Excellent!

Carole McKee, Author

Beautiful Novella

Beautiful Emotional Novella. This story was heartfelt and very well written. It was especially an intriguing read for me because my own mother lived in a senior living home for years before my sister took her in a few years before she passed. I remember visiting her several times a week and feeling the depression of the place as you walked through the doors. Anyway, this story really hit home for me. It had a bit of mystery to it along with a very emotional background. Love it. Recommended.

All the components of a great novel in a short story.....

In "Lily- A Short Story", Stevie Turner has the basis for a great novel. The pain and fear of a 93 year old woman trapped in a home is palpable. Mistreated by a nurse, she's begging to die. However, a new room mate changes everything.

A past rife with heartache and loss as well as immeasurable joy haunts Lily in both her waking and slumbering moments. Remembering the love of her life, Artie, brings whispers of birth pangs and some of the proudest moments she had as wife and mother. Forever mourning a 14 year old sister violated in the worst possible manner by a trusted adult, she's left with the knowledge that it all ended in death for the young lass.

Historical facts about WWI sprinkled in regarding Lily's oldest son bring another dimension to Turner's writing. There are so many emotions to be felt within these pages that at times it is almost too much. The reader becomes one of Lily's children however briefly. At the same time, we feel the fear, frustration and pain of living in an aging body while the mind is as crisp and alert as it ever was.
