MESSY LUCY

Meet Lucinda "Messy Lucy" Percy, the unofficial news network of Grace Alley. From her front porch in South Park, Houston, Lucy sees everything, hears everything, and has an opinion about nearly all of it. Armed with coffee, a fan, and binoculars she considers "ministry equipment," she has made knowing everybody's business practically an art form.But beneath Lucy's humor, bold personality, and endless curiosity is a woman carrying her own loneliness and hurt. As rumors go too far and well-meaning interference begins affecting the people she genuinely loves, Lucy is forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: concern without boundaries can still cause harm. With the help of her church, neighbors, family, and a whole lot of grace, she begins learning to listen more, assume less, protect people's dignity, and turn her gift for noticing others into a gift for helping them.
