Lily Traywick thinks she must have been adopted.

It’s easier than believing she’s actually related to Joan and Roland Traywick, her power-couple parents who run Traywick’s of San Francisco, the most chi-chi department store on the West Coast. While her parents party with Miuccia in Milan and Gabbana in Paris, Lily hangs out at home in ratty jeans and an old t-shirt. She loves softball, guys, and Jesus, and she’s eager to make her own way in the world. Feeling that her life is on hold, she turns to her best friend Reagan, a fashionista who has it all, for a major life makeover.

Lily is soon dressing in the latest must-have fashions and pursuing a writing career. She’s even dating the perfect guy. But does he love her for who she really is? And what about his friend from college, who reappeared in his life?

As Lily’s friends question her new way of life, everything is getting more complicated. Public scandal, family drama, and technological disasters add to her confusion, and Lily is forced to consider whether her quest to have it all will cause her to lose everything that matters. A tale of love, trials, and faith set against a wonderfully drawn portrait of San Francisco, Consider Lily is a hilarious look at life as a modern Christian.

We’ve always loved San Francisco. Anne grew up just outside of the city, and left her heart there when she ventured east. May traveled westward many times before finally moving to the City by the Bay. With the Victorian architecture, progressive culture, and laidback style, it’s no wonder it’s the heart of the West Coast. When we sat down to write our second novel, we knew we wanted this magical metropolis as the backdrop. We hope you’ll enjoy this contemporary retelling of the story of Samson and Delilah.
