The Smell of Lilies

Author's Note

Background:

Kel is a woman who understands what loneliness and desperation are. She has felt and understood the pressures that her hieght and weight and family situation have brought upon her her entire life. But with that frustration and often times, lack of self confidence, Kel also understands that the little things in life are sometimes the most happy and valuable things. She has learned to cope by pleasing others, making sure those around her are happy. It brings joy to her to know that someone else is smiling, like her sister, Leila, whom she has always looked out for.

Brandon has also had his fair share of troubles. His family was closely knit and his three younger brothers always kept him busy and happy. But life isn't always fair, as we know. In his later teenage years, Brandon's life starts to crumble and anger builds inside him. He wallows in it, and tends to lash out at the people he loves most. As soon as he can, he hurries away from his family, because he believes it is the only thing to save them from his ever growing temper problem.
