Josie’s family finds out about Lila’s impending death while she was abducted. Lisette and Shannon wanted their moment with the woman and Josie agrees to accompany them. Was it a closure or healing event for Josie? What made it so? Is it over now that Lila is dead? What was the significance of Josie pouring her ashes into Cold Heart Creek? Your thoughts?


Anita (anitanodiva) | 2953 comments Closure that I don't think Josie knew she needed. Healing will take a while. Lila will always haunt Josie, but with time and love Lila will eventually be less and less a presence in Josie's life.

I didn't get the significance of pouring the ashes in the creek. I'm not that deep into the symbolism and have no idea what it meant.


Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 3474 comments I believe it was a healing moment for Josie. She confronted the woman who hurt her so much. It will be a slow process, but it is a start.

I thought pouring her ashes in Cold Heart Creek was Josie washing away the coldest-hearted person she knew from her life.

Oh, I like that Sharon. A river for cold hearts. Works for me!

I don’t think Josie considered the impact of seeing Lila die. A lot of that fear, resentment and self doubt died in that room. It’s her first real step in moving on. I don’t know about closure as she’s got a lot of healing and growth ahead of her.

I’d love to know what Shannon and Lisette said to her😏


Anita (anitanodiva) | 2953 comments Me too!

Me too Jonetta. I hope we learn in a future book.
