Lucy's story is moving as well as heart wrenching. Growing up as a diabetic child was not easy; especially in the 1960's. Having a potentially fatal condition that she was expected to keep under wrap. This book was quite an eye opener for me. I never imagined the day to day struggles of managing blood sugar levels. It was quite impressive how Lucy as a young person secretly managed her diabetes. Her love and support from her late grandmother and mother were instrumental in her survival.
This book is an easy read and kept my interest throughout. The author brings to our attention how difficult it is to live with diabetes in everyday situations. Things we as non-diabetics take for granted.
