Stolen Child : A Novel

Bottom Dog Press
Nine-year-old Lucy Fahey is punted to her paternal grandmother during the summer of 1960–as her mother endures a summer of hospitalization for a cancer we see only through Lucy’s eyes–a mysterious force that disrupts the family and removes her from communication. Grandma Fahey is charged with teaching Lucy the catechism which the dreamy girl has failed to master during the school year and she seems a perfect choice–strict, straight-laced, devout to a tee, and armed with defenses that have removed her from her own roots in western Ireland’s County Mayo.
