Description

None of us want to admit our lives are unmanageable. We prefer the charade that we are in control. 

Lillian Dove, however, is constantly reminded she has very little control over her life and only has the ability to move to the choices that come her way. 

The Lillian Dove Series is a journey in recovery.

How we handle dependency and denial is what allows for choice.
