Discover the Next Generation of Christian Storytellers…
Featuring Lillianna Joy
As a young woman over 6’2” in height, Lillianna Joy has always known what it’s like to be afraid to stand up fully, especially after fighting a chronic illness throughout her childhood. Now, she writes YA contemporary stories full of relatable romance and deep themes for girls who are finding their voice. She wants to encourage them that their story matters—they matter—and inspire them to live courageously, despite the struggles they face. Outside of writing, Lilli spends her time as a barista, plays with her countless little cousins, and makes waffles while playing board games with her siblings.

About Her Short Story
Dreamscape by Lillianna Joy
What would you do if the world was pointing in one direction… and your heart the opposite way?
GHRETA LANE is a painter, artist, and dreamer at heart. Yet in this world, dreams are often crushed. We grow out of fairytales and childhood tutus and paint-splattered overalls.
But when Ghreta’s younger foster sister, TRINITY, shows her that maybe you never are too old for imagination and dancing in the rain, she’ll have to face the question: Is the beauty of life, the very whimsy of it, worth fighting for, even in a world full of grays?
