A Vision of Lucy



In the late 1800’s Lucy is a young aspiring photographer, hoping to get a job with a newspaper to help support her younger brother and father. While on an assignment for a prospective job, Lucy gets caught up in a bank stagecoach robbery and foils the robbers plans. A mysterious man named David Wolf comes to her rescue. David has come back to the town to solve a mystery about his life that has eaten away at him. Lucy and David do not know what to make of each other, but they eventually fall in love, a problem since Lucy is a white woman, and David is half-Indian. Lucy eventually finds herself helping David to unravel a secret that some members of the town have kept for twenty years.

This book was ok and I am not sure I would recommend it to anyone. The characters were ok, some were cute and funny, others were creepy, but none stand out or are memorable. Lucy can be kind of annoying with some of her babbling, and it seems most of the towns people have one secret or another. With all the gossip that goes around, I am surprised any secrets could really be kept. The story line is good, part of it is a surprise, another part is a little disappointing. (Without giving away any spoilers, it concerns what David is searching for.) It is evident the author did a lot of research into photography, but other than that, the story was not too interesting. It was a quick read for me, I was able to read it in one afternoon, but after I finished the story, I kind of wished I had read something else.
