The Story Behind a Song by Jill Jackson Miller
Jill Jackson Miller recalls a hard early life from orphaned to foster care, then Hollywood acting, divorce, and two children. A near death on her own hand led to faith, daily practice, and a shift toward writing children’s verses and songs with Sy Miller. They created Let there be peace on earth, which inspired a nationwide response and even the Danish Boys Choir at the White House.
