The 50's...Drive-in Movies, Doo-wop Music...and Love in the
Back Seat of a '51 Plymouth In 1952 Kentucky, 18-year-old
Lily Foster, the daughter of strict Southern Baptist
parents, becomes pregnant by the town "bad boy"—and
just
like that, she finds herself married to a man who doesn't
want to be a husband. Jake has no intention of letting the
inconvenience of marriage stop him from what he believes is
his due. In actuality, Lily is the one who is trapped. She
loves Jake—always has, since they were children
playing in
the woods on adjoining properties--and she's convinced she
can eventually make him love her. All it will take is
desire and patience. Once the baby arrives, they will be
the perfect little family. From Lily's home on Opal Springs
Ridge to a four-year stint at an army base in New Boston,
Texas, and finally, to life on their own in Bowling Green,
Kentucky, Lily struggles to maintain a rocky marriage with
a moody, immature husband while raising two daughters. Set
during the "American Dream" period of the '50s and into the
turbulent '60's, LILY OF THE SPRINGS is a story of a
woman's indomitable spirit and her fight for independence
and identity in an "Ozzie & Harriet" society.
