She becomes the wife of a minister, John Ames, and begins a new existence while trying to make sense of the life that preceded her newfound security. Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood. Together they crafted a life on the run, living hand to mouth with nothing but their sisterly bond and a ragged blade to protect them. Despite bouts of petty violence and moments of desperation, their shared life was laced with moments of joy and love. When Lila arrives in Gilead, she struggles to reconcile the life of her makeshift family and their days of hardship with the gentle Christian worldview of her husband which paradoxically judges those she loves. 650 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Homeless persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Husband and wife $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Christian fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd. 941 $a 3 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20190504021614.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20170106011810.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20151203012330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C2520D7C998B11E5B5D4B7C8DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
