Lee Wardlow

The Matriarch Lee Wardlow

The Matriarch She was manipulative but fragile and naïve. She's had a hard life that no one knows about or understands, that molded her into the woman she became because of the secrets that she's kept. Secrets that destroy her from the inside. She's lost the only love she'll ever have so being with Porter Watts makes no difference to her if she gets what she wants from him. He promised to take care of her and her only child still living at home. Wealth is something she's never known. She hadn't bargained for how much she got. The nice old man had secrets of his own. She's the matriarch of the family. A wife. A mother. A grandmother but they, her sons and grandsons call her Satan's Whore. Most of them haven't even spoken to her in months except Hanson, her favorite. Her grandsons are hot and cold. Her granddaughters and her daughters have always adored her. Now she's dead and she must relive her life on the big screen in a movie theater with her dead husband Bobby Preacher as her companion watching every moment she never wanted him to see. She doesn't know but he's already seen it all as he watched over her, waiting for her to return to him. They both learn that the truth about their happy life is somewhere in the middle and forgiveness is easier than they thought because the ultimate prize is eternity together. But for Delilah to leave the theater and find her happiness in eternity with Bobby she will have to forgive the one man she never wanted to see again. She will have to forgive every aching, abusive thing he ever did to her or she'll be stuck with him forever, right there, sitting in the plush, red leather chairs, reliving all their moments together over and over. Eternity is something Delilah never could have possibly imagined. To have it, she just needs to do the one thing she never thought possible, forgive Porter Watts.
