They were home...at last, ready to start their lives once again, Some soldiers carried a hidden duffel bag home with them as well. Once this bag opened, however, an insidious poison spewed out from the bag and into the hearts, minds, and souls of these innocent men. Lyla resided with her parents, Paul and Kathy Bryant, in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. Like other post-WWII families of the 1950's, they appeared to live the ideal family life.

Whenever the two would collide, the ramifications were deep and dark for his daughter, Lyla. Little Girl Blue is the life story of Lyla Bryant.
