Description
Have you ever laid awake late at night after a really good day, thoughts of warmth and laughter swirling about your mind as you caress every memory as though it were something tender, and precious. Lily is a young girl growing up in rainy, wet, cold London city. She has been through her fare share of hardships, but she has an even fairer share of clear, warm memories. Readers get to see first hand how she ages, and changes along with her rowdy brothers, and loving parents. Slowly they grow up, find their special someone's, and settle down. Everything seems to have changed, but one thing has always stayed the same. Listen closely and you'll know what. In this heartwarming short story Haylee truly captures the thoughts of a girl growing from a child, to a teen, and finally to a woman. You will feel as if you are living right inside Lily's shoes, and you will find yourself empathizing and cheering for her characters the whole way through. Haylee is a young author and you can tell she knows how it feels growing through adolescence, into adulthood. Aside from that her writing is way beyond her years in a startling way. I would be impressed if you didn't cry by the end.
