  Lucy  -  Laurence Gonzales
         new author

 I fell in love with Lucy and I think you will too!

Jenny rescues Lucy from a war conflict in the Congo where she was born. Lucy's father was a primatologist and had artificially inseminated a female bonobo ( ape) with his own semen.  After several failed attempts,  Lucy is born.

                           Lucy looks like any 14 year old girl but has the strength and athletic abilities of her  
mother.  The reaction to a hybrid human is very diverse.

I enjoy this book and my heart went out to Lucy and Jenny.
