Forever and Always

Lillian Rose Murphy, born in July of 1879, has been living on her own in the middle of Oklahoma since her parents died when she was 14. Living in her old house that her father remodeled with just her cat, Lilly gets by with the money that her father had saved for them over the years as a carpenter. Broken, lost, and lacking any motivation to live, Lilly finds herself just going through the motions of life. Having reached the age of 17, Lilly has lost her hopes of ever moving on with her life...finding love, getting married, having a family. It was all things she dreamed of, but she could never get out enough to meet a man. A godly man at that...until she witnesses Leonardo James Wilson walking along the path in front of her house on his way to drop his sister off at the schoolhouse. Living just outside of town, Lilly is shocked to see somebody come from the woods. Completely fascinated at the thought of Leo, Lilly develops a passing-by-crush on him. Little does she know that her feelings would ever be reciprocated...or that she and Leo had a lot more in common in their lives than she thought. A tale of love, lies, and betrayal: Forever and Always.
