About The Book:
Lillie Young a true diamond. A survivor of a broken childhood filled with vicious acts of sexual, emotional and physical abuse she refuses to allow her past to control her destiny. She sets her goals high and worked to achieve them. On the way she experienced challenges, trials and tribulations; and in overcoming them she set the world on fire! She burned down the road blocks, with prayer as her weapon, and she walked away unbothered. Being kicked and punched by life she has never given up. Instead she continues to succeed while sporting her trademarked red lipstick. When asked what is her special power she replies, “With God, prayer, my daughter, and my red lipstick, I set the world on fire!”
