According to her own words she loves stories effecting strong feelings. In that she succeeded with her debut feature. I&#8217;m appreciating nice stories but don&#8217;t feel concerned very often. Reading the story of Mickey Chandler, Lucy Houston and her family I felt affected more than once. Specially for the second part of the novel there won&#8217;t be a dry eye in the house.<br \/>\nLucy meets Mickey on a party for her 21st anniversary. Her sister booked the comedian as a surprise for her. She wants to learn more about him but Mickeay stays rather reluctant though he&#8217;s developping feelings for Lucy too. They&#8217;re both afflicted with more or less complicated diseases but Lucy&#8217;s steadfast courage to face life enables their marriage. They enjoy marital life with ups and downs like others do until a really dramatic incidence confounds everything and puts their partnership to the test.<br \/>\nA haunting story resembling reality so much that I read porlogue, epilogue, acknowledgements and all blurbs to find a hint on the persons being the basis for this novel. The know-how of a psychiatry nurse surely has a share in Hancock&#8217;s realistic descriptions of many situations.<br \/>\nA novel you should really buy and read because besides all sadness there are a lot of wonderful touching moments in Lucy&#8217;s and Mickey&#8217;s life. Perfect reading pleasure you don&#8217;t find that often.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the debut novel of Ka Hancock, a nurse living in Seattle.
