I liked 'Lacy's Lane'; the characters, the storyline and the way the author weaved the awareness of human trafficking into this story. Lacy grew up down a lane, with the neighbor being the Gannon's. They had a grandson, Thad, who came to live with them and became good friends with introverted Lacy. Fast forward to prom night when Thad gets someone else to take Lacy home and things go wrong.

Now you start the story, with Lacy and her sister all grown up, living down the lane even after their parents died. Thad has moved on and become a popular television star who only occasionally visits and checks up on his grandfather. Lacy however has been taking care of his place and her place and never taking time for herself. Thad's grandfather takes a turn for the worse and Lacy calls him to come home. Now it will get interesting as Thad and Lacy reconnect. I have to say I was intertained and educated at the same time as I read this story. Lacy will apply for and take on two young girls from overseas who have been sold into child slavery. Hard to believe this really goes on in our world today. But the author handled this subject very well. Looking forward to reading the next two books in this series. ( )
