Review:

“I ran [this book] through three generations of readers—mother, wife, and child—and unanimously they read it with pleasure. . . . Lucy is a young lady you need to know.” --F. E. Abernethy (F. E. Abernethy)

“. . . the kind of bright and original work that evokes from some of us that soundest of compliments, ‘Wish I’d written that.’” --Texas Books in Review (Texas Books in Review)

“A truly fine tale of the indomitable human spirit, told in the honest voice of a strong young schoolmarm in early day West Texas.” --Larry L. King (Larry L. King)

“This is one of those books that is easy to get into, hard to get out of. Once started, it is nearly impossible to put down. Once put down, it is not easily forgotten.” --Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Fort Worth Star-Telegram)
