FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We have no intention of explaining how this correspondence which we now offer to the public fell into our hands.

Inside you will find letters exchanged between the diabolical Madame Hoaxrot and her junior devil Hemlock, who are scheming against a young woman’s relationship with her Creator.

They plot to sabotage every feature of her life from sex to female friendship to empathy, motherhood, and aging.

Ladies, this book will give you the eyes to see the feminine vices that hide behind feminine virtues.

"She is honest before God and man about herself, she is a keen observer of others, and she translates this honesty into compelling, edifying writing.

This means she can tell you things about your own heart and its inner workings that you likely didn’t know, things you may not be eager to find out: ugly things, reasons why you’re miserable, reasons why you sometimes make others miserable.

But she can also show you how to resist temptation and walk in newness of life as a young woman, a married woman, a mother, and a dying saint."

Abigail Dodds, author of (A)Typical Woman and Bread of Life

"... Reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters ...Crisp, energetic writing...”

Kirkus Reviews

"Her own joy in freedom from this sin is contagious, and you will find yourself challenged, encouraged, and wondering what needs to be uncovered in your life."

Rachel Jankovic, host of the What Have You podcast, author of You Who: Why You Matter and How to Deal With It, and Loving the Little Years.

Refreshingly informative

I know it’s technically a “ladies” book, but the preview gave me no choice but to buy it. Other than the female tendency to gossip, I can’t say I ever been explicitly taught how women struggle and sin. As a husband and father of a little girl, I believe this book has graciously given me an understanding of how to love the women in my life and understand how satan may be peeking into their loving hearts. It’s also just a fun read from such a witty perspective.

My Dear Hemlock

I wish this book was around when I was a younger woman. I could have really benefitted from the wisdom. Even still, the lessons exposed are even that much more powerful for me now. I would love to go through this book with some kind of women’s mentorship group at our church. Looking forward to sharing this with my own daughter when she is old enough.

A wild ride and great insight to the temptations of a women

I bought this book mainly to get an idea of how a woman would tell the story of female temptation. I hoped for a behind-the-curtain look at my own wife’s struggles and how my daughter (age 2) might face similar challenges in the future.

My Dear Hemlock did not disappoint. Tilly Dillehay did an amazing job capturing the feel and style of C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters. The read was as insightful as I’d hoped and wildly engaging. I’ll be ordering more copies as gifts this Christmas.

My Dear Hemlock

What a refreshing read! It was so convicting to read of sins that are common to us all ... that we don't even know we have but groan in recognition when we read of them. And it was so refreshing to read of the ready remedy to our sin! This clever series of fictional letters was simultaneously a page-turner and a slow read -- I kept rereading passages to let the truths soak in. Wonderfully written. Highly recommend!

Couldn't put it down!

Love, love, love this book. And... I'm a MAN. Very insightful for sure, and the Screwtape Letters style made is so much fun to read. I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. My wife and daughters are reading it now, and I purchased a copy for my pastor and his wife. This book will remain on our shelf as a useful resource as we have opportunity to counsel other women. Well done, Tilly!
