After her acclaimed memoir, Mostly Sunny, Janice Dean figured she was done trying to survive or bring down awful men.

New York Times bestselling author Janice Dean shares the journeys and lessons she’s learned from everyday heroes taking on long odds. Through the character of Lilly, Robert Thier exposes the effects of patriarchy on women, painting Lilly as a heroine to aspire to be like for being resourceful and intelligent enough to transcend the oppression of her society’s prevalent misogyny to become financially independent. However, more importantly, it reveals the immense power and capability that women have always had - which is by no means less than that of their male counterparts.
