On the Wings of Imagination is a fascinating story about a young African American girl who grew up in Argenta, Arkansas, during the 1930s and ’40s. As a young child, she exhibited qualities and behaviors that were uncharacteristic of children her age. She was always cheerful, loving, and kind to everyone with whom she came in contact and wanted to befriend them regardless of race, color, or age. Her motto was “People are just people with me.” One day, she overheard a disclosure by her mother regarding the circumstances of her birth and a statement that God must have saved her for a special purpose. Lilly Mae took it to heart and set out on a spiritual journey to find God’s purpose for her life. The author presents this story (as with her previous book) in a manner that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions—intrigue, sadness, joy, laughter, and tears—as Lilly Mae went through church hopping, jobs, baptisms, love, marriage, disappointment, and finally self-discovery.
