Résumé :
Sparks fly when 23-year-old New Yorker Bellarina Levitsky lands on the South Carolinian doorstep of 89-year-old Tilly Wilson, a flawed old woman with an unwavering faith in God and a mouth rife with unsolicited advice. The only thing the unlikely pair have in common is waiting for death's door to creak open.

Biographie:
For as long as I can remember, I have written stories. There hasn't been a day that I haven't authored something-either on paper or in my head. (Some things are never meant to see the light of day.)The idea for Outside the Lines has been circling inside me for a long time. I have had too many friends succumb to this dreadful disease. And yet, even knowing their days were numbered, they never lost faith. Through all their suffering, they raised incredible families, nurtured beautiful relationships, and loved fiercely to their last breath. The world is a better place because of each of them. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. So open your heart and love deeply. As these women reminded us-have faith over fear, be the light for someone else, choose joy, and remember, if you want magical things to happen, first you have to believe in magic. Above all else, choose love.
