Now, at last, de Lint tells Jilly's own story...for behind the painter's fey charm lies a dark secret and a past she's labored to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I'm the onion girl,\" Jilly Coppercorn says. \"Pull back the layers of my life, and you won't find anything at the core.
