Creating a Blended Family through the Power of Love
“A New Generation: Creating a Blended Family through the Power of Love is particularly special because Lily Gwilliam shares secrets from the heart and her courage to follow her intuition. It is an inside look into the mind of this passionate woman who examines with honesty her initial attraction to Gary Gwilliam, her trials and tribulations, her hopes for a wonderful future, and the courage to follow her intuition and overcome her fear of not taking action. It took great courage to write this book. All women can identify with the conflicting emotions expressed on these pages. A New Generation is a keeper---definitely one you want on your bookshelf.”
