Lilly lives in the
St. Jean—once in
the center of New
York’s 1920s jazz
scene—where musi-
cian Brandon lived
during the prohibi-
tion. Owner of a
notorious speakeasy,
he witnessed a crime
spree fueled by
liquor and passion.
In the midst of it all,
Brandon simply dis-
appeared. Now Lilly
is drawn into his
mystery. In the glit-
ter of Times Square,
an epic love is about
to unfold across the
decades.

One afternoon, music therapist Christina Britt on Conroy was taking nursing home
residents to activities. She was thrilled when a sweet, disoriented lady joined
her group. “Mary, it’s so good to see you. Do you want to go to the Bible study or
BINGO?” she asked.
Mary replied, “I want to go to Lithuania.”
“An insightful, unique approach to helping people cope with the demands of dealing with the elderly.
The writing is entertaining and insightful.”
— John J. Daly, M.D., NYC Police Surgeon, St. Vincent’s Hospital, NYC
“... social workers, nursing-home and community center staffers, psychologists, and family members
of patients with dementia/Alzheimer’s could all benefi t from this information.”

“... a great resource for caregivers, whether they are children of aging parents or professionals work-
ing in a health care settings. Conroy puts a new spin on the different ways to manage the elderly
population. This book is a great reference and a great read.”
