Cassedy's last novel is not as assuredly upbeat as the other two, but it offers children the means for carving out some contentment from any event, no matter how bitter. In the orphanage, Lucie is despised by the others and considered obstinate by her teacher. Secret from everyone is Lucie's house, where she is cherished; secret, also, is her best friend and correspondent, Delia Hornsby. Cassedy's craft is such that she leaves her heroine right where readers found her in the first pages, yet no one will doubt Lucie's quiet, ultimate triumph.Cassedy, Sylvia is the author of 'Lucie Babbidge's House' with ISBN 9780690047981 and ISBN 0690047983.
