REVIEW OF
RECLAIMING LILY
BY PATTI LACY
Patti Lacy has been one of my favorite writers since her first book, because her prose is like poetry. To me, the way she paints pictures with words makes her the Leonardo da Vinci of the writing world. Add to that this moving story about sisters separated by oceans and a family torn apart by the ravages of an inherited disease, and you’ll never view life in the same context again.
In Reclaiming Lily, Harvard graduate, Dr. Kai Chang, needs to warn Lily, the sister she left on the steps of a Chinese orphanage years earlier, about a devastating disease that runs in their family. But Lily had been adopted by an American couple, the Powells. Gloria Powell distrusts Kai, and fears her presence will send their troubled seventeen-year-old daughter over the edge. Can Kai and Gloria put aside their differences, and work together for Lily’s sake?
I can’t say enough about how excellent Reclaiming Lily is. You’ll need to keep the tissues nearby for this one!
