A Review of "A Vision of Lucy" by Margaret Brownley

Lucy Fairbanks lives in Rocky Creek, Texas in 1882. The birth of photography happened only a few short years prior and her passion became photography. Women in those days, however, were expected to marry, give birth, stay at home to raise their children and care for their husband. Not Lucy.

The day thieves held up the stagecoach, Lucy just happened to be practicing her photography up in a tree and literally fell into the hands of the robbers. A mysterious man, rumored in town to be a wild man, rescued her. Thus began an adventure she didn’t expect and could never have foreseen.  Her rescuer, David Wolf held a secret.  Lucy held a secret, too, but both felt the pull of attraction to each other. A pull they tried to ignore.

This unlikely romance plays out against a background of dark deeds, prejudice and bigotry. A compelling read with an intriguing glimpse into the dawn of photography. Lucy would marvel at the photographic devices we have at our disposal today.
