The Murders of Lillian Ross by Sirena Van Schaik
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lillian Ross is serving a death sentence for two murders that she committed. Over the years, all of the stories that came out about her and the circumstances have been filled with half truths. She is now ready for the real story to emerge, and asks for it to be written by Allison McKinnon, an author for the victims. This story provides insight to unfortunate and real aspects that some people face in life, abuse. As a survivor myself, although nowhere near the events in the book, I found that this provided a message of hope through tragedy. Each decision we make, and don’t make, has consequences. How we handle these outcomes is the challenge, for most, and sometimes that challenge becomes lost hope. However, learning and bonding with others is one way to fight the demons, as long as the demons haven’t destroyed you completely. Lillian and Allison build a silent bond, based off of these demons, but yet each woman’s story has a different ending! I enjoyed reading the story of these women and taking some of their strength to be able to deal with my own demons!
