Publisher's Synopsis
Safe Under the Willow tells a story of forgiveness, love, and healing. Forty-year-old Jillian Davenport has the perfect life, complete with a loving husband, two children, a career, and a cozy little home-until one innocent conversation with an alcoholic patient, Mr. Hopkins, allows darkness from her violent past to integrate its way into the present. Domestic abuse, alcoholism, and hatred were parts of her life that she had put behind her some twenty years ago- a part of her life that she'd rather stay hidden from her family. Throughout the saga Jillian will reveal the physical and mental abuse of her childhood with those she loves the most. But with that comes risk. Jillian fears her family will judge her because of her upbringing or pity the broken little girl she buried inside. Follow Jillian as she exposes the truth, the importance of friendship, and how to heal from an abusive childhood. Which, ultimately, helps her to understand how the weak survive.
