This book was sent to me to be read over Christmas break.
I have read all of T. Greenwood's books and bought several of them to read repeatedly
and pass through friends which created new fans of T. Greenwood. I enjoy her books!
Upon reading the description- I knew I had to read this one!

I had a short time to read before work one day, so I opened it to start reading to just get
started--- I could not stop reading- I was late to work and I kept trying to read it while I
was working. It was a terrific read, I could not stop reading!!

I have enjoyed T. Greenwood's other books, but, THIS one blew me away.
It is such an excellent book, everyone needs to be reading this book.

I want more of this story, these characters, and this author to bring it to me.

A well written,heart-wrenching story.
People did not know what to do with "not"perfect babies that were born in the 1960's. Families felt shame and blame as they placed these little ones into facilities to live out their days. They were called "residential schools" aka institutions.
Parents went on and tried to forget.
The children were better off, weren't they?
Lucy was born with Down's Syndrome. Her Dad gave up parental rights the day she was born and she was placed into an institution. It was the right decision.
This is a story of a mom who could not forget her little girl.
Ginny had always wondered about Lucy. Was she happy, healthy and receiving adequate care?
When she learns that there have been deficiencies in the "Home" Lucy lives in, Ginny sets out on a mission to right the wrongs. Ginny will not stop nor will she ever give up fighting for her child.
It is a novel of hope, love, courage, despair, tragedy and yet inspiration.

Beautiful heart wrenching story.A book that stays with you long after you finish.Highly recommend for book clubs, #netgalley #Keeping Lucy #St.Martins

A beautiful, well-written story. This is easily going to be a favorite for 2019. I could see a lot of book clubs picking it for their book of the month to read. Well done!
