The book has succeeded beyond her imagination. “Maybe some of the personality and sarcasm, and wanting to help people in need,” she said. A medical emergency that brings them together unmasks years of resentment and anger that is resolved only at the end of the 299-page book.įairchild, 42, is sometimes asked how much of Lucy is Lia. “In Search of Lucy” follows the physical and emotional odyssey of 30-year-old Lucy Lang, whose dysfunctional family includes an alcoholic mother and an ungrateful half-sister, all three living far from each other. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.Lia Fairchild of Murrieta is one of those rare writers who not only finished her first novel but is actually receiving checks from the publisher.

I will probably struggle with this question of giving my kidney to my sister for a long while, but hopefully I will never have to face it head on. I love books that touch me in a personal way and makes me think about my own life and existence. I really, truly liked this story and I had to think about my review for awhile. I first thought of the book as one appealing just to women, but the more I read, it spoke to me as a man. I found In Search of Lucy a wonderful story of struggle and feeling. This was a poignant, moving story and well-crafted by the author.” The plot line was 100 percent believable and I am not ashamed to admit that I teared up a few times while reading this book.

Each character was beautifully written and I identified with a lot of the things that Lucy went through during the story. I knew from the very first page of In Search of Lucy that I would enjoy reading this book immensely and I was right. Certainly worth reading!!! Nice self-discovery, with a bit of inner angst thrown in of course. Couldn’t put it down, and had to know where she would end up. It’s about acceptance of what was, what is, and what will be.” (Read full review here on KindleObsessed)ĭefinitely a journey!! Lucy is a wonderfully complex character that many people can identify with. It’s not just about romance, and a sisters fight for life. “This book follows Lucy’s journey back to HERSELF. Readers will laugh and cry along with the characters! (I think this would make a great film too! Surely Hollywood is watching this page, right?!) I see myself in Lucy and I LOVED Carly (she reminded me of my own daughter who has her own “Bun Bun” and entourage of stuffed animals). Fun characters in a tragic yet uplifting story.

Stayed on the treadmill well past my planned time tonight just so I could read more of this book! I loved Lucy – I loved the story. Check out some of the wonderful things being are saying about this novel. Recently, Lucy has received some incredible reviews. They’ve given it a new look with this gorgeous new cover.
