Chapter 8 Phipps Background

Lillie Phipps grew up as an only child to a single mother. Her parents never married, and her father was more absent from her life than he was a part of it. Her mother more than made up for this. Lillie was always close to her mom. They spent much time together and she had a very happy childhood. 

Lillie spent many happy hours with her mom. She has fond memories of spending time in a warm kitchen filled with the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven, fresh cookies, warm pies. Her mother was not only good at baking, but she was also a good cook. Lillie watched and learned from her mom.

Maybe it was because she never really had a close relationship with her father, but Lillie has always found it difficult to have a close, intimate relationship with any of the guys she has dated. When things got too close, she would inevitably find an excuse to break things off. She thought she wanted to have a husband and children of her own, but never seemed to find the person she wished to settle down with to make that happen.

Lillie is a happy person. She is happy with her life. She is happy with her job. She would rather work at a job she loved and make less money than to have a high-powered job that paid a lot and be miserable. 

Now that she is past her young adult years, will Lillie continue to be happy with the path she has chosen? Will she one day look back on this decision with regret?  Will it then be too late? Her biological clock may have ticked out.
