Lucy Come Home

Lucy Come Home

Lucy Tucker has been on the streets of Chicago for 50 years. Why wonâ€™t she come home?

Fifteen-year-old Cindy worked long days beside her migrant worker family in Michiganâ€™s sugar beet fields in the early 1940sâ€”the â€œwar yearsâ€â€”until she met a dashing young man from a traveling carnival, bringing some joy and fun into her hard-scrabble life. But a tragic twist of fateâ€”and a dead field bossâ€”sent the two young people on the run, leaving behind family and everything sheâ€™d ever known.

Lucy Tucker, the crotchety old bag lady from the popular Yada Yada House of Hope series, is a veteran of the Chicago streets and not about to give up her independence, even as she approaches her 80th birthday. Until, that is, a young displaced woman with her gentle ageing mother and a dog named Dandy seem to need herâ€”unsettling the secretive Lucy, who doesnâ€™t let anyone get too close. But just when it seems her past is catching up with her to bring her in out of the cold â€¦ Lucy disappears again.

How these two tales intersect and intertwine between past and present gradually shines light into the dark corners of Lucyâ€™s murky past. But â€¦ why wonâ€™t Lucy come home?
