Overview

A brilliant Rhodes Scholar whose love life is torn in threes, Annabel Greeley is not lacking in wit or intellect. But when the accomplished geneticist is faced with a decision that will change not only her life, but the future of humanity, the answers elude her. She is hounded by the ever-present and unavoidable fact that she would not be alive if it weren't for her Aunt Lily, who happened to have Down syndrome and, seemingly, all of life's answers. Annabel's life is about to change in profound and paradoxical ways as she sets out in search of the things Lily knew.

Reviews

The characters around Lily, a woman with Down syndrome who has a profound affect on the world around her are so vividly drawn, so realistic and multifaceted... The Things Lily Knew is edifying, challenging, and as the three novels before it, an absorbing read. -- Leticia Velasquez, blog contributor at Catholic Media Review Endorsement

Author Information

A former newspaper reporter, Sherry Boas made her novelist's debut in 2011 with a series of gritty characters whose lives are unpredictably transformed by a woman with Down syndrome. Beloved by readers and critics alike, Until Lily, Wherever Lily Goes and Life Entwined with Lily's were inspired by Boas' adopted daughter, who has Down syndrome. The books were billed as a trilogy, but Boas missed Lily and decided to re-enter Lily's world with The Things Lily Knew, which is, strange as it may seem, the fourth book in the trilogy. Boas is also author of Wing Tip and A Mother's Bouquet: Rosary Meditations for Moms.
