The Seasons of Our Life take us on a unique journey that shapes who we currently are and who we will become. This is the first in a series of compelling stories and it takes place during the Gray Season of Lily's life. Gray defined is, "a color between black and white, as of ashes or an overcast sky." Gray perfectly describes this impactful Season, a period beginning with two family member's deaths and concluding with salvation in a small beachfront community on the Northern Oregon coast.

It seems like Lily had always been on a quest to fill that dark empty hole she felt in her heart. Fill it with what, she didn't really know, but something vital was undeniably missing. Little did she realize, in early October of 2004, that life-changing events would unexpectedly put her on a path leading to the answers she had been searching for her entire existence.

"The night my father died, it was how I imagine a 9.0 earthquake would feel. It shook us all to the core and the total devastation was immeasurable. And it seemed as if the earth slightly shifted on its axis." Lily Eastbrook Rhodes

"The Gray Season" began coming to life on paper in the Spring of 2012, along with the inspiration for seven additional stories to come in the future. This first story is dedicated to the author's Father and Mother-in-Law, whose deaths twenty days apart set life-altering events in motion.
