A Sister's Silver Lining

"A Sister's Silver Lining" is a true and heartwarming story. LaMonta Jane Litsey considers herself a Yell County girl, having lived most of her life in Dardanelle, Arkansas. Her adopted family: the Merritts and Lanes play a large part in creating a warm environment which enables her to have a quality life. Dana Merritt, her uncle, was well-known in these parts, having been mayor for twenty five years. Her adopted mother Liz, Dana's sister, even accompanies Jane to Kentucky on the search for her birth parents. Much like the "True Grit" story, hers is one of survival and downright miracles. When asked how she kept going with so many obstacles, Jane replies "Placed for adoption at birth, diagnosed with Crone's disease, spending most of my life in and out of hospitals; my strong faith has kept me going. Having an empathic nature, I listened to spirit guidance and paid attention to my prophetic dreams. I always placed myself in the hands of God and Angels when I didn't think I could make it through another operation or time of relentless pain.
