She is poor and her mom works 3 jobs to support them, but doesn't seem to understand her daughter or care to make an effort to do so. Lucy is a girl with no friends, who is bullied mercilessly at her school. I can't believe this is Nikki Moyes's first book - WOW! This book was very unique and blended elements of your typical high school, science fiction, and psychological dramas seamlessly. I loved, loved, loved this book! The only drawback was that there were a handful of grammatical mistakes (mostly homonyms, although there was a kind of funny "habitual" instead of "habitable"). The book has a powerful message and I would highly recommend it. We are not even sure if what she is experiencing is real, however, one of Will's pearls of wisdom is, "If I can make one person's life better by my being in it, than my life has been real and worthwhile." Although, she feels she is there to save him, he always imparts some specific wisdom to her to guide her in her present life. In each life she encounters someone named Will. But her dreams or recollections of past lives, or possibly just guardian angels showing her different life situations guide her through her present life by showing her both the past and the future. The main character, Lucy, is dealing with numerous life situations, none of which are good-bullying, a far from ideal home situation, and thoughts of suicide. The book has many layers, one of the signs of a good book, for me. I loved how the author interwove dreams, time travel, and possibly reincarnation to give meaning to life.
