TENDER MINT is a photo book containing photographs made in Jordan during 2011-2014 when Lynn Alleva Lilley lived in Amman with her family. The photographs present the experience of loss and grief as well as surprising, otherworldly beauty. TENDER MINT was published in June 2017 by The Eriskay Connection (Breda, Netherlands). https://www.eriskayconnection.com/home/61-tender-mint.html
