title: Thirty-Seven Satin Buttons
author: Machon, Ally
description: Eight year old Lily Ryan with her twin Gray never forgot reaching into that wooden box of ashes to scatter her mother into the waters of the Cape. Nor could she erase the condition that haunted her thirty years later as it had Elle then. It brought her mother her own demise. How can anyone understand or tolerate the complications of an illness to supply reckless abandon? Gray and Sunrise watched her carefully but there are not enough eyes to supervise Lily's wicked secrets. What began years ago in Sunrise's Tears comes full circle in this written testimony.
