When her plans fall apart, the past she cannot remember offers a way forward.
When Lily Wentworth's engagement ends on the day she expected to begin forever, she seeks the one place she has always found safety - at her father's side.
Rick Wentworth has spent years protecting his daughter from the darkest chapter of their lives. Now, he places in her hands the letters he wrote while they were held captive - letters filled with impossible choices, quiet courage, and a love fierce enough to endure the unthinkable.
As Lily reads, she comes face to face with a childhood she cannot recall, preserved in the letters her father wrote to keep hope alive. What she discovers reveals the quiet sacrifices he carried to protect her - and the love that sustained them when darkness closed in.
Now she must meet the past face to face and step into a future she did not expect - discovering that wholeness was never dependent on the life she thought she needed.
Half Agony, Half Hope: Dear Lily Edition is an emotionally powerful novel about survival, identity, faith, and the enduring bond between parent and child. Told through present-day moments and intimate letters, this clean and deeply hopeful story speaks to anyone who has faced heartbreak and wondered whether joy could return.
Ideal for book clubs and for readers moved by Room by Emma Donoghue and the faith-centered family stories of Karen Kingsbury.
Love kept her alive. Truth will help her live.
