Praise for Lucy Goes Home: Lucy drew me in, but I stayed for the revolution...Astute political commentary, and it was a very fun read.I adore Lucy. She's the best friend I wish I'd grown up with.Revolution Begins at Home... Growing up in an orphanage, Lucy longs for a real home and loving family. Her dream appears to be coming true when she learns that her brother and grandpapa are looking for her. On her first visit to her her birth home, she finds her birth family living in abject poverty, unable to provide for themselves let alone Lucy or her infant niece. What land they own is mostly rock, but where everyone else sees worthless stone, Lucy sees roads and buildings. Returning to the orphanage, Lucy sets in motion a plan to house all the orphans in the country in remote areas to safeguard them from the incoming political regime. This proves to have been wise when the new president seems intent on persecuting the most defenseless members of society-the natives, the elderly, and the poor. Lucy fights back by hiding her past as she attends university to become a teacher. Working with her birth family, her orphanage family and the powerful people who've been her benefactors, they struggle to find a way to survive and save their country. Lucy Goes Home is part rags to riches, coming of age, social justice, your worst nightmare come true and an adventure that draws the reader into Lucy's family and her country with it's customs, and people-both the noble and the cruel.
