Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:As a teenager left to raise herself, Lucy Diamond is a narrator with a radiant yet guarded heart. As she races at breakneck pace toward womanhood, everything is at stake for her, producing an urgency and dread that she holds at bay with humor and grace. But while Lucy charges ahead, her mother's youth is fading, providing a juxtaposition steeped with tension and love. Simultaneously embracing and resisting their similarities, both women's emotional vulnerabilities and their deep need for each other are revealed. Conveyed through dialogue that is both laugh-aloud-funny and true, Lucy stands out in contemporary literature for her large heart and inimitable grit. Review:"Vivid and sharp, written with a startling coolness that only serves to heighten the emotional forcefulness." Kirkus Reviews Review:"Pete Fromm is one of America's best-kept literary secrets." Thom Jones, author of Pugilist at Rest Review:"Spirited and sharply intelligent, if sometimes farfetched....[T]he emotions Fromm plumbs are painfully, poignantly real." Publishers Weekly Review:"Fromm explores the sexual evolution of a cynical teenage girl who has the spunk and wit to survive two flaky parents and the urges of unbridled adolescence." Booklist About the AuthorPete Fromm won Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Awards for three of his earlier books. He lives with his family in Great Falls, Montana.
