Some needs are special, they're not like the rest. They may leave a scar upon your chest. You may look different, have a tube, a scar. But all these things are not who you are.

Her story is also a valuable resource not only for parents and families with vulnerable children, but all people who need to learn the lessons of respect, understanding and compassion for those whose daily life is physically and emotionally challenging. Lucy has Kabuki syndrome, a rare genetic disorder believed to affect 1 in 32,000 births worldwide. For more information on Kabuki syndrome visit: www.allthingskabuki.org

Book Description
Funny, poignant, and deeply moving, The Line Tender is a story of nature's enduring mystery and a girl determined to find meaning and connection within it. Wherever the sharks led, Lucy Everhart's marine-biologist mother was sure to follow. In fact, she was on a boat far off the coast of Massachusetts, collecting shark data when she died suddenly. Lucy was seven. Since then Lucy and her father have kept their heads above water--thanks in large part to a few close friends and neighbors. But June of her twelfth summer brings more than the end of school and a heat wave to sleepy Rockport. On one steamy day, the tide brings a great white--and then another tragedy, cutting short a friendship everyone insists was "meaningful" but no one can tell Lucy what it all meant. To survive the fresh wave of grief, Lucy must grab the line that connects her depressed father, a stubborn fisherman, and a curious old widower to her mother's unfinished research on the Great White's return to Cape Cod. If Lucy can find a way to help this unlikely quartet follow the sharks her mother loved, she'll finally be able to look beyond what she's lost and toward what's left to be discovered. ★"Confidently voiced."—Kirkus Reviews, starred ★"Richly layered."—Publishers Weekly, starred ★"A hopeful path forward."—Booklist, starred ★"Life-affirming."—BCCB, starred ★"Big-hearted." —Bookpage, starred ★“Will appeal to just about everyone.” – SLC, starred ★"Exquisitely, beautifully real."—Shelf Awareness, starred

Dear Lucy
Author: Julie Sarkissian
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 145162574X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
I go down the stairs quiet like I am something without any weight. I open the door in the dark and the cold sucks my skin towards it. It is the morning but there is no sun yet, just white light around the edges. It is the time to get the eggs. Time for my best thing. The eggs they shine with their white and I do not need the light to find them. The foxes need no light either. I am a little like the fox, he is a little like me. Lucy is a young woman with an uncommon voice and an unusual way of looking at the world. She doesn’t understand why her mother has sent her to live with old Mister and Missus on their farm, but she knows she must never leave or her mother won’t be able to find her again. Also living at the farm is a pregnant teenager named Samantha who tells conflicting stories about her past and quickly becomes Lucy’s only friend. When Samantha gives birth and her baby disappears, Lucy arms herself with Samantha’s diary—as well as a pet chicken named Jennifer—and embarks on a dangerous and exhilarating journey to reunite mother and child. With Dear Lucy, Julie Sarkissian has created an unforgettable new heroine of contemporary fiction whose original voice, exuberance, and bravery linger long after the final page.

The Seduction of Lucy

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
"We're having sex until we're out of each other's system." Lucy is what the "Agency" made her: deadly, ruthless and calculating. It's stripped away much of the girl she used to be, but fear and lust remain. Troy inspires both. He always has—even when he hijacked Lucy's life and gave it to a shadowy government agency operating outside the law. In a world where every day is an op and every op could be your last, there's no room for emotion. Whatever gets you through—the training, the thrills, the sex—you take and are grateful. Even as fellow agents are culled by unknown assassins, Lucy and Troy remain locked in a breathless clinch of deception, distrust and desire. At any moment, one could be tasked to kill the other, and at the Agency, protocol rules. And cancellation is forever.
