Bookroo's summary

Lucy, a spirited tomboy, grapples with life's upheavals after a tragic accident. Her best friend Mora's sudden obsession with a boy threatens their friendship, while a land developer eyes her cherished soccer field. As a wildcat prowls nearby, Lucy's world feels like it's crumbling. Can a wise housekeeper guide her through the chaos and help her find her true path? With everything at stake, Lucy must navigate friendship, family, and faith to discover where she truly belongs.

From the publisher

Lucy is a feisty, precocious tomboy who questions everything–including God. Understandably, especially after an accident killed her mother, blinded her father, and turned her life upside down. It will take a strong but gentle housekeeper–who insists on Bible study along with homework–to show Lucy that there are many ways to become the woman God intends her to be. It seems like everybody’s got it in for Lucy! Mora’s gone boy-crazy for JJ and will stop at nothing to cut Lucy’s friendship with him out of the picture. A land developer wants the soccer field, and the town council just might take him up on it. And a wildcat is stalking Lucy’s house cats. Worst of all, she’s in trouble with her dad. Where can Lucy turn when it seems like nothing’s going right?
