About the Author: Lillian Gobitas's family lived above the small store they owned in Pennsylvania. They converted to the Watchtower Society of Jehovah's Witnesses when Gobitas's maternal grandparents moved in with them. In adulthood Gobitas's religion took her to Europe and Canada before she returned to the United States with her husband. A clerical error changed the family's name from Gobitas to Gobitis during the Supreme Court case.
