Book Description

February 28, 2012
Lucy Lang's life is spiraling out of control. For years she sacrificed her own needs to care for her half sister and alcoholic mother, only to be abandoned by both. Now, at age 30, Lucy finds herself held back by memories and regret as she struggles to find her own purpose in life. But when her sister needs a kidney transplant, Lucy is the only one who can save her life.

With the help of new friends and a man who won't give up on her, Lucy sets out on a journey to reunite with her sister and find the answers she so desperately needs. Can she get past her emotions and have a chance at happiness? With its colorful and endearing cast of characters, In Search of Lucy takes readers on a rollercoaster of emotions from sadness and heartache to happiness and hope.

From the Author

Part of the excitement of having In Search of Lucy acquired by AmazonEncore after I self-published it was the chance to have it professionally edited. Thanks to all my early readers who gave great feedback in the initial reviews. I hope you all enjoy this new edition.

More About the Author

I've been creating stories my whole life, but only for me, in my own head. Then one day I sat down and started to write a book. I completed my first novel, In Search of Lucy, in February of 2011. Seven months later, AmazonEncore contacted me about representing my book. It's currently in the top 10 for Kindle Drama.

My second full-length novel, Vigil Annie, was released on Amazon in December of 2012! One reviewer called this thriller "suspenseful, well-crafted, and fast paced."

I recently completed my first romantic comedy, The Tech Guy, now available on Amazon.

My other works include a mystery series (A Hint of Murder) and a short, sweet romance (Special Delivery).

I was born and raised in Southern California and hold a bachelor's degree in journalism and a multiple subject teaching credential. I'm a wife and mother of two teenagers.

3.0 out of 5 stars I like what I found... May 20, 2011
By AMB
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read many books lately in which the heroine is just about perfect with a flaw that is endearing and problems that you know will be solved by the last page because that's the way it has to be. Lucy Lang is not that woman, she's not even close. She's sad, damaged, broken. She has a life that she is not living. Every time she has opened her heart to someone, she gets hurt.

At the beginning of the novel, we find Lucy in a dead end job in spite of having a love of art. She is a loner, a drunk. She doesn't have any friends and a list of regrets an arms length long. She was abandoned by the person she loved the most, her sister. She in alone. Thankfully there are a few people in her life who have not given up on her, two unlikely friends who join her on a life changing journey.

I really enjoyed this novel. I loved following Lucy on her journey. I thought Ms. Fairfield did an excellent job adding realism to this novel. Lucy was the perfect balance of hope and despair. I enjoyed how she grew as a person, finding herself in the love and acceptance of others. I loved the relationships she had with her sister. I loved reading how their relationship evolved.

I think this is definitely worth the read. In my search of Lucy, I really like what I found.

5.0 out of 5 stars In search of Lucy June 8, 2011
Format:Paperback
I knew from the very first page of In Search of Lucy that I would enjoy reading this book immensely and I was right. Each character was beautifully written and I identified with a lot of the things that Lucy went through during the story. The plot line was 100 percent believable and I am not ashamed to admit that I teared up a few times while reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars nicely written story line May 21, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A sister feeling confused and depressed and wants to end her life, the other sister wants to live so calls for help after no ties for years. Thus began a journey for Lucy towards friendship, love, understanding and forgiveness on out of her pain. She runs into the one person that made her life a living hell...
A very enjoyable read, a nice flow and loved the very end that ties up any questions that might have still been in your mind. A few words need to be fixed but otherwise a great read!
