Keeping Lucy By T. Greenwood
Keeping Lucy is available for pre-order and here is a link: Keeping Lucy
Ginny Richardson's is not happy when she goes into labor two weeks early, and has to have a c-section, but to make matters worse everyone is saying something is wrong with her beautiful little girl and before she knows Lucy is gone. Gin's husband maintains it is to a wonderful school for kids like her (Lucy has Down Syndrome) and says that they can't visit for the first 30 days. He also tells Gin that she has a heart problem and that they don't encourage visits for terminal children.
Gin is confused and heartbroken, but she tries to move on and do what her husband asks. That is until her best friend calls her. Marsha has seen articles about Willowridge and thinks Ginny should know what is going on. When Gin confronts her husband he admits that he knows all about it, but that he and his father are the lawyers on behalf of the school and it is not as bad as the papers make it out.
Ginny decides then that she has to see Lucy, so Marsha drives her up with Peyton (Gin's oldest child) and what she finds destroys her. Gin makes the impulsive decision to not return Lucy to the school after she changes her diaper for the first time.
I read T. Greenwoods Rust and Stardust and loved every minutes of it. So when I saw another book by the author I knew I had to request and read this one. This like Rust and Stardust is based on true events. I was horrified and on the edge of my seat! I rooted for Ginny so much and found her to be so amazing and determined. I also sincerely love how her best friend Marsha is like the Thelma to her Louise!
This is a moving story about heartbreak, secrets, and courage and love!
