mikaiya 's review for:
Keeping Lucy
by T. Greenwood
I went into this novel with low expectations and no real idea what I was getting into, and was shocked by how riveting I found the story. The era is painted very vividly, and the characters are all more complicated than they seem at first. It's a novel that deals with not only how we handle (and have handled) babies who are different than the norm, but more importantly it's about how family dynamics and how important it is to be true to ourselves and to grow. I found the writing to be clear and polished and tore through it in a day or two because I had to know what happened to Lucy and her family. It brings up a lot of painful history, but advocates love and understanding, and compassion for not only those most obviously in need but also those who we assume we understand but really, can not possibly know their stories.
