Books with title Lucy

A tiny dog, a kindhearted girl, and a nervous juggler converge in a cinematic book in four acts — a unique children’s literature experience.Lucy is a small dog without a home. She had one once, but she remembers it only in her dreams. Eleanor is a little girl who looks forward to feeding the stray dog that appears faithfully beneath her window each day. Eleanor’s father is a juggler with stage fright. The overlapping stories of three delightful characters, offering a slightly different perspective each time, come together in a truly original, beautifully illustrated book for dog (and underdog) lovers of all ages.

This is a simple story of a girl named Lucy, a free-spirited little girl who has a special relationship with her Uncle Charlie. He loves Lucy in a way every little girl deserves to be loved. He helps her know of the beauty of life, the great love of God, and the what it looks like to live free for a lifetime. Lucy was originally written one chapter at a time as a gift to my then-girlfriend, and now-wife Leanne, while she was away on a trip. It was in hopes of capturing Leanne's imagination and bringing her great joy. And it was also written with a dream toward being a great Daddy to a little girl like Lucy. I am hopeful that it will be helpful to little girls (young and old) and helpful to Daddies and someday-to-be-Daddies (young and old).

"With every breath he inhaled, he slowly sucked the life out of me."Her whole life she has been jumping from one hoop to another, constantly drunk on the fascination that love could fix everything. Lucy never truly found a home. A traumatizing experience from high school is rekindled once she lays eyes on her perpetrator. Mentally disturbed and self-loathed, Lucy cannot shake the feeling of being unwanted. Even now, twenty years later, she is trying to cope with the ugly past. Is closure still out of reach? Is acceptance still viable to find?

Lucy just wants a bit of excitement. So with the help of L.D. she puts together the plan of her life--Lucy Fernandez is going to take a trip!Based on the groundbreaking Degrassi Junior High television series, this book offers a sensitive and engaging look at the challenges of teenage life.
