And not being surrounded by other kids makes it pretty difficult to find new friends. Lily has to learn a few things about who she really is. For once she's not out to figure out what her "thing" is, but more, who God wants her to BE. She's realizing that after all this time, she still isn't sure who she is. Her identity has revolved around her life, but her life has changed.
The Lily series is a 14 book series about a young 12, then 13 year old girl trying to figure out what makes her unique.
