Je peux toujours compter sur le soutien de ma mère et de mon grand frère Damien, sans eux je pense que je n'aurais pas eu trouver le courage de me battre et de faire de mon mieux pour rembourser les dettes que mon mari nous a laissées. On avait tout pour être heureux, mon mari avait sa propre maison d'éditions qui marchait plutôt bien puisqu'elle faisait partie des plus réputer de New York. Quelques jours avant ce tragique accident, il m'a annoncé que son entreprise était au plus mal, et qu'il devait être obligé de la vendre. Après avoir obtenu mon diplôme de responsable d'édition, j'ai postulé dans l'ancienne maison d'édition de mon mari qui porte toujours son nom, mais rien... Alors pour essayer de mettre plus de chances de mon coté j'ai décidé de reprendre mon nom de jeune fille, Lilou Curtis, et je compte bien intégrer cette entreprise que je connais mieux que personne. "Le passé nous fournit des regrets, le présent des chagrins, et l'avenir des craintes..." Et si le destin donnait enfin la chance à Lilou de pouvoir tourner la page sur son passé...
