Lilly speaks about her childhood in the small town of Louisiana. She started her journal at 10 years old. She read on the air a page of her writings where she expressed events of her life, at that age. School work, classmates, and her parents and siblings. Lilly has kept her journal until today. She writes as often as she can. Her work at Writing Around Portland keeps her in contact with her inner self. Her writing and concerns are so different from the ones she had as a young girl. A woman, writer Lilly, and her journal are one person where her thoughts intimate questions, and reminiscences become words. Finally, a wonderful text. Consuelo, encouraged her to someday publish her journals as a witness of her time. Her description of her immigrant family from China, then her life in the United States, and her surroundings are fundamental aspects to understanding how society was developing at that time. Her eyes as a writer and a woman become a sociological study.
