About this ebook

Sometimes we try so hard but do not succeed. Sometimes we get what we want but not what we need. Sometimes we love so much but never get love in return. Lilli Jackson, a divorced single mother of three year old Natalie, works as a Public Safety Officer for Verity Security, a property security firm, in a job she doesn't like, but her boss is a gem and she's paid enough to meet her and Natalie's basic needs. She'd really like to meet the right guy, and wear a skirt and blouse with nice shoes to work. She feels trapped. The choices she's made that got her to where she is now will not get her to where she wants to be in the future. But figuring out where she wants to be isn't clear, which makes the choices even fuzzier. She meets an array of people, each with their own desires, secrets, wishes, rules, fears, duties, and obligations. And those people meet others, each making their own choices. No two people are identical. She believes there are people who will try to take advantage of somebody else as well as people who are kind, courteous, loving, and helpful. So she has to figure out who is doing what, in other words who to believe. It's sort of like watching two people arguing about something, each of them using different and contradictory information they claim to be factual objective information. You suspect one is lying and one is telling the truth, but figuring out which one is lying and which one is telling the truth can be difficult.
