TL, you have really out done yourself this time! I think Lucas is going to be one of my favorite characters of all time! (I even want a movie, and I have only read the first chapter!) I am already relating to him and you have only showed us the surface of his character! I want to show him 'home' and give him family, but I don't want to crush his spirit either . . .Wow, I am totally sucked in and September can NOT come soon enough!!! YOU ROCK!!

Sincerely,
Sarea
