Lucy's Treasure is a book that explores women's rights and issues at the turn of the 20th century. It explores the limitations of primitive lifestyles of the backwoods culture of the area in that day. It exhibits tact, yet insight, into what's idealistic, when compared with what exists. It's about child abuse and neglect. It shows the horror of the experience and the insecurities of those that want to help. It's a book of love. In giving of oneself that provides the very ingredient that keeps a heart alive and believing in a hope of tomorrow. In the midst of total darkness, a ray of light shines from this helping hand that changed a child's destiny forever. It's of historical perspective from the early 20th century and its primitive culture that dominates this rural society that surrounds the child, Lucy Pierce. It's a book about religious controversy exploring the pain and suffering due to limited educational facilitation in medical fields and religious training of its clergy. It presents those that stay with stubborn beliefs even when life proves them to be wrong, yet uses them to hide ulterior motives that endanger the very life of the child at risk.
