Dreamboat [Lila Valentine Thibideaux] on www.farmersmarketmusic.com *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. With her mother on the lam from a federal arrest warrant.
There are many accounts of life with Meher Baba in India, but this is one of the rare tales of what it was like for a Westerner with a job and a family to make God the main focus of his life. It is a superb account: A Transformational Picture of Marriage God created marriage as a beautiful work of art that reflects his glory to the world.
But our culture has undervalued and misunderstood it, causing it to lose some of its luster. Like recent restoration projects on the Sistine Chapel and the Mona Lisa, it is time to return marriage to its former glory, and the only way to do that is to take a closer look at what the artist had in mind all along. This is a coming-of-age story, but Lila is not the usual tattoo-laden, bitter babe, but rather a quite intelligent and optimistic gal.
The bulk of the story concerns her relationship with the caretaker on the property and their interesting and very chaste relationship, but there is another plot involving her mother and her thuggish boyfriend, Luther Henderson, who come looking for LIla.
Lila begins the novel thinking she's nothing but poor white trash but learns she is much, much more than that by the unexpected ending. Great story great narrator loved it!
