Keeping Lucy
by T. Greenwood
“Keeping Lucy” is one of the most heartbreaking books I’ve read, but worth every tear!
After the birth of her daughter, Ginny’s world is blown apart. Lucy was born with Down’s Syndrome and Ginny’s husband and father-in-law decide it’s best for her to be sent away to a “special school”.
What a brutal time for these poor children! And their families. There was little known about the condition and it was common for them to be hidden away at mental institutions. During that period, it was also rare for a woman to be independent and defiant.
The book documents Ginny’s journey to save Lucy after she finds out the institution has been accused of negligence, abuse and other horrendenous acts.
Thank you to Goodreads Giveaways, T. Greenwood and St. Martin's Press, for this free digital ARC in exchange for my honest opinion!
