It is 1840, and 14-year-old Lucy doesn't have a special someone yet, not even a close friend.
So, the teen focuses on attempting to do all of the things that are expected of girls in the flourishing town of Cape Girardeau in the young state of Missouri.
Despite successes and failures in her daily endeavors, the unconventional girl's undying bliss rests in her earthen artwork: etching with a stick that "feels right enough to draw with" in the level dirt clearing behind the one-room schoolhouse.
One day, while updating one of her drawings during recess period, Lucy senses she is not alone.
She is right.
Follow spirited young Lucy as she meets someone new, someone she had previously only conjured up in her imagination.
Read about their intriguing meeting ... and beyond.
