Being that she was an orphan herself Tilly was bound and determined to give her daughter a more stable life than she had ever had.
She had never known anything about her biological mother and father, no inkling of her family whatsoever until recently that is.
She was on the verge of turning forty and up until recently, there had been no human being in this world who staked a claim on her.
How this woman who claimed to be her grandmother was able to find her? She had no clue, hell she was still unsure if, in fact, she was the granddaughter of this stranger.
She only met her once and that was literally on the woman's deathbed.
A few weeks prior, Tilly Leigh had been summoned to an old rundown farmhouse, “not too much unlike this one in Montana”, deep in the Eastern Kentucky mountains.
