As she struggles to preserve what she can from her past life, she finds that while Grandma, God, and her church are still there for her, there are problems she has to solve for herself. I found this novel kind of hard to get into. If I had to say something negative about it, I would say it was too long. But towards the middle I connected with Lucy on a rather unexpected level, for me anyway. Like Lucy I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school.
She prays, yes, and she goes to confession, but these are presented as almost reflexes, not really pertaining to the actual growth that Lucy undergoes.

At 20 she married the man Lucy calls her father. Her biological father is never mentioned again. Nor does Lucy have any siblings, which is odd, for Catholics. The whole family dynamic with the grandparents and the step-dad is all a bit weird.
Gone: A Girl, a Violin, a Life Unstrung
But it feels real. This book is unlike most of the middle grade books that I read. I think it would be a great book for more mature girl readers, especially Catholic girls.

August Auggie Pullman was born with a facial deformity that prevented him from going to a mainstream school—until now. Because one of my unsold manuscripts is also about a kid with a deformity, I want to see how this is handled. Middle grade covers are so much better than YA covers in my opinion.
