Nancy was a dear friend!!

I knew Nancy Hills quite well. She was one of my closest friends for the 10 Years that I lived in Swainsboro, GA. I was the Sr. Paralegal for the law firm that represented Nancy in her bankruptcy. I lived through a lot of Nancy's hardships. This book is very true and right on point. She had the biggest heart of anyone I've ever known and she was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. She was so mistreated and mostly because she always saw only the good in everyone. I have some memorabilia that she gave me and these things are some of my most treasured possessions. I miss her but she will always be in my heart

Fascinating read

What an inspiring story told in a very compelling way. Telling your true story isn't always easy or pretty but Ms. Hillis succeeds at sharing hers gracefully.
