Lucy Come Home

ABOUT THE BOOK: Fifeen-year-old Cindy worked long days beside her migrant worker family on Michigan's sugar beet fields in the early 1940's - the "war years"-- until she met a dashing young man from the traveling carnival, bringing some joy and fun to her hard life. A tragic twist of fate-a dead field boss-sent two youngsters on the run, leaving everything she'd ever known behind. Lucy Tucker is an old bag lady, a veteran of Chicago streets, who is not about to give up her independence-that is until a young displace woman with her gentle aging mother and dog named Dandy need her and Lucy's past begins catching up to her and she disappears again. Why won't Lucy come home?

My Thoughts: The fictional characters of the Jackson's Yada Yada novels are full of vividness, quirks,flaws,faith journeys, life lessons, disappointments, and life. The authors are experts at weaving their tales. Lucy is a character from early in the series. I met her in the House of Hope series. This story was a sad one and by the time I finished the book my heart grieved for Lucy. If you love books that cover WWII and the Dust bowl period of history you will love this book. It was a long and tedious read to me.
