Lucy lies dead in her rocker, but her mind is alive and well! Is she really dead after all or will someone come and save her? Suspended in the mysterious void between life and death, Lucy’s voice guides us through her ninety-seven years of existence in Evansville, Indiana, watching its transformation from cornfields to metropolis. Her vivacious spirit, dry humor, and dogged perseverance animate this intriguing multigenerational story. Traveling back and forth through time, visit her childhood in the lush Indiana countryside of the early 1900s, then follow her as she builds a home in her beloved Evansville. As she unfolds her story, she shares tall tales, family drama, and gentle lessons on how to live life to the fullest, whatever challenges come along. Her ruminating monologue gradually solidifies into pearls of wisdom for every occasion--how to make a marriage last, age gracefully in mind and body, and discover one’s unique destiny. This is a book that soothes the soul whether one is already on the right path or still finding one’s way. Rather than a self-help or religious text, this cozy Christian novel works like a puncture repair kit for battered spirits facing the quintessential problems of modern life.
