Editorial Review

Growing up is hard when you don't have a mother---but God helps Lucy find her way.Lucy is a feisty, precocious tomboy who questions everything---even God. It's not hard to see why: a horrible accident killed her mother and blinded her father, turning her life upside down. It will take a strong but gentle housekeeper---who insists on Bible study along with homework---to show Lucy that there are many ways to become the woman God intends her to be. Lucy's bossy, career-minded Aunt Karen thinks eleven-year-old Lucy needs a woman's influence. Enter Inez---a housekeeper with a will as strong as Lucy's---and her granddaughter Mora, a girly-girl who is Lucy's polar opposite. Will the girls ever find common ground? Inez just might have the answers when she teaches them the story of Ruth and Naomi.

A fun book to read...even for an adult

Silverbird, Charlotte, NC

This book is a fun read whether you're 12 or 40. There are underlying messages in the story, but it's not preachy. It's well written to the point where you almost feel like you're there with Lucy watching everything unfold. This book offers a lot of "perspective".

teen series

you could definately tell that this is a book geard towards younger teens, but i decided to read it anyway and it was suprising good. it deals with a lot of things that i think younger girls could relate too. may consider purchasing the rest of the series.

A teenager

I knew the second I started this book that this was a book for kids younger than I, but I couldn't resist digging into this book. Quite frankly, I loved it. I loved the character Lucy who reminded me of my sister so much. The story was well written and the child-like faith of Lucy shows how faith is supposed to be. Completely trustful. I also saw myself in Lucy like when she always tries to figure out how to fix something and then go to God when she can't. Inez's response was dead on and insightful. For any parent that wants to mix faith with fiction for their kids, I highly recommend this book and any like it

I really love the FaithGirlz series and I especially like the books about Lucy. Lucy has had troubles in her life, but she tries to overcome them. This book shows you how God's word can help you feel better when you are sad. I think this is a great series for young girls.
