Thirty-year-old Lucy Lang is lost. She spent most of her young life sacrificing her own needs to care for her half-sister and deal with their alcoholic mother. Now abandoned by both of them, Lucy struggles to find her own purpose in life; a struggle that is laden with wretched memories and regret. With no family, no relationships and an unfulfilling job, Lucy becomes depressed, cynical and self-destructive. At times she’d even contemplated suicide as the only way out.
When she is just about to hit rock bottom, Lucy finds out that her sister is ill and needs a kidney transplant. Lucy is found to be the only match and has no choice but to live; trapped in a lonely existence to save her sister’s life. And, she must battle with her emotions; her bitter resentment for her sister’s heartless departure and her longing to be needed again by the person she once loved most in the world. With the help of new found friends, Benny and Anne, and a struggling romance, Lucy sets out on a journey to reunite with her sister and search for the answers she needs to find her own identity.
With simply genuine and endearing characters, In Search of Lucy pulls you right into the story and into the characters’ lives. You’ll find yourself truly inspired and rooting for the happy ending that these characters are working so hard to obtain. This dramatic, romantic novel about the power of relationships and how they affect our identity will appeal to anyone that has ever experienced love, loss, and friendship.
Not necessarily a writer, but I always loved creating things. Growing up, I loved reading, writing, drawing, and just creating anything. I’ve also always had a lot of ideas about stories too, and from time to time started writing about them, but this is the first time I set out determined to write a complete novel. I went through a few various stages while writing. At first I was so excited and motivated. I really knew I could do it and thought I had a great story. I think at some point many writers go through a little self-doubt. I began to worry about making it through to the end. If you think about it, 80 thousand words is a lot of writing. I just kept powering through those feelings telling myself no matter what I’d finish.

The first scene is sort of a flash back. Lucy has a very unreliable car and she is remembering when a stranger helped her after her car wouldn’t start. It’s kind of a funny sce0 Comments on Author Interview: Lia Fairchild, author of In Search of Lucy as of 1/1/1900Add a Comment
