A Vision of Lucy by Margaret Brown

Hey thereJ I’ve gotten a new book sort of recently  from booksneeze, and it’s really good. Before I get started though, I should probably tell you that I received this book for free from the booksneeze program offered through the thomas nelson publishing company and this review is one hundred percent my own opinion. Anywho, this story is about a fledgling woman photographer. Now, to be quite honest, I’ve never really looked into the history of photography- particularly American photography. For a while, it seems that photography  was quite the frivolous pursuit. This is where Lucy in introduced- a woman with a job at a time when it seemed women did everything BUT have a job. Lucy hopes to convince her dad she’s legit, but that’s hard to do when disaster seems to follow her everywhere she goes. Determined to become a respectable worker, she begins to take photographs of the town’s recluse, sure that capturing him on camera would insure her media attention. But she realizes that this job is harder than it looks as she falls in love with him. A plot twist comes (don’t you love those?!) and change Lucy’s story. What will happen to Lucy? Will she remain true to her passions and her God, or will everything crumble down? I’m not about to go and tell you now. You need to find out for yourselfJ
