Description
Just
because you survive doesn’t mean you’re alive.
One moment fifteen-year-old Lily Berkenshire is sitting in her bedroom,
favorite song blaring through her earbuds, history book open on her lap. The
next, her alcoholic father is shooting and killing her mother. Then he’s
pointing the gun at Lily and pulling the trigger. Click. He’s out of
bullets.
For now.
When she moves to Seattle to live with her aunt, Lily retreats into peaceful,
dissociative trances to escape the shattered nightmare that is her life. Soon,
though, she discovers a beautiful boy who wants to take her out, a therapist
who wants to help her heal and new friends who believe she can find wholeness
again.
But her father wants something else entirely. He is hunting her and unless Lily
confronts and heals the devastation inside her, she’ll forfeit her life to a
father determined to end it.
From the first shot to the final, terrifying showdown, Tin Lily is an edge-of-your-seat
psychological thriller.
Advance Praise
I enjoyed the author's style of writing and would love to read more of her work!
I loved this book! It peaked my interest from the beginning and kept me wondering until the end!
Lily's story is powerful and heartbreaking. The beautiful prose pulls the reader in to her grief, confusion, and fear. I lost myself in the story, unable to put the book down. A masterful work.
This was an absolutely beautifully written novel. The characters were creative and I easily could connect to all of them, mostly Lily.
I found Joann Swanson's Tin Lily captivating from the first sentence to the last. The main character, Lily Berkenshire, is a strong, captivating character who is trying to overcome blaming herself for her mother's death.
I really enjoyed this book. The author is very insightful into the feelings and mind of someone that has just lived through a horrific tragedy. Makes you wonder if she's actually lived through some kind of personal trauma, which allows her to write so convincingly about the workings of the mind after experiencing such a life altering event... I hope she continues to write.
