A former newspaper reporter, Sherry Boas made her novelist's debut in 2011 with a series of gritty characters whose lives are unpredictably transformed by a woman with Down syndrome. Beloved by readers and critics alike, Until Lily, Wherever Lily Goes and Life Entwined with Lily's were inspired by Boas' adopted daughter, who has Down syndrome. The books were billed as a trilogy, but Boas missed Lily and decided to re-enter Lily's world with The Things Lily Knew, which is, strange as it may seem, the fourth book in the trilogy. Boas is also author of Wing Tip and A Mother's Bouquet: Rosary Meditations for Moms.
The characters around Lily, a woman with Down syndrome who has a profound affect on the world around her are so vividly drawn, so realistic and multifaceted..."The Things Lily Knew" is edifying, challenging, and as the three novels before it, an absorbing read. -- Leticia Velasquez, blog contributor at Catholic Media Review "Endorsement"
