"Deceptively simple and so artfully constructed it takes you someplace far deeper than you expected....Lucy Diamond is the kind of woman Johnny Cash might have memorialized with his graveyard croon....A novel of great drive and soul." --Carlo Wolff, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Fromm creates an engrossing coming-of-age saga that cuts to the essence and shines."(Seattle Times).As a teenager pretty much 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.
