I can easily see this story being made into a mini series. ~~~Book Preview ReviewUntellable is a delightful mix of mystery, suspense, and love. Lilly creates characters that are warm and memorable. ~~~Brenda Maxfield, author of The Edgemont CollectionSweet, touching, a bit scary and nerve-wracking, and ultimately satisfying. ~~~Books in the Hall
