Book I of A Life in the Lowcountry Series. LILLA, A SURVIVOR, is the life story of a South Carolina lowcountry small-town woman whose spirit was never broken. A child of a family challenged by hardship and the killer flu of 1919, Lilla found true love, then suffered widowhood twice and the death of a son. Living a day at a time with her faith in God, the help of her sons and caring people of small-town South Carolina, Lilla is truly a survivor.
