Peggy L. Headlund: Confidence- reliance on the Spirit

PEGGY L. HEADLUND’s much anticipated sequel to Innocence: Simplicity of Spirit is here-with the irrepressible Lilia Faith Christian, who is older (thirteen), but not always wiser! Lilia lives on a ranch in Wailua, Kauai with her parents Jacob and Francine, and her grandfather, Apelehama, and his new wife, Mandy. Lilia is a musical prodigy, but her temper still gets her into trouble, especially when it comes to Jimmy Rose, the boy she’s known since the fi rst grade. The two butt heads constantly and seemingly hate each other. Mele, Lilia’s best friend, tries to bring spiritual awareness to Lilia’s behavior, as grandfather, but the two have problems taming such a wild spirit on a determined young lady. Lilia’s in for many lessons-her talent takes her to winning a $10,000 musical scholarship, modeling, and becoming an internationally known celebrity. But with fame comes other problems, and Lilia will encounter those who wish to destroy her faith, crush her spirit, and even threaten her life.
