Having been a passionate writer all her life, Lucy began to write regularly for the local paper, after she settled in Soledad, CA. 'Window on the World' began in 2003 as a weekly newspaper column in 'The Soledad Bee'. Lucy wrote about her life and about life as she saw it. Friends, family, animals, the world beyond; none were spared the view through her window. People who didn't know her, said they felt they came to know her through her columns. Her local librarian Angie Lopez told her she needed to compile a book from her columns; so she did.
