As a woman living 50 miles from Lilly’s hometown, her true grit inspires me. Thank you Lanier for bringing her story to light…especially now as we’re called to stand up for what is fair and life-giving. 💪🫵🏻👏

Thanks, Lisa! I'm just lucky our paths collided and we got along so well. I knew Lilly's story was important, but I had no idea how the world would turn and what it would mean so long after Grace and Grit was published.

Holy cow. She sounds like a Marvel super hero but that’s the stuff of fiction, and she’s real!

Lanier: I’m so inspired by this article, Lilly, and you! Thank you for bringing her story to life in Grace and Grit, and I’m looking forward to seeing the film portrayal of your work and her life on May 9 at the Sidewalk Cinema. You and Lilly speak for ALL women. Thank you!
