Life is filled with ups and downs.
No matter what, keep a song in your heart.
Keep singing.
For Lucimarian "Lucy" Tolliver, life on Lucy Street was nothing but a joyful dream. She spent her days happily playing in the neighborhood with her best friend, Wanda, and her grandpa's wise words and warm embrace were only a few blocks away. However, when financial misfortune strikes Lucy and her family during the Depression, she struggles to hold on to the optimism that's always kept her spirit lifted. But can one night--and one song--remind her that the light can continue to shine even in the darkest of times?
From Sally-Ann Roberts and Lawrence Roberts comes a heartwarming and moving tale based on their mother's childhood, about the uplifting power that music has with keeping hope alive in times of extreme strife, featuring an epilogue from Good Morning America's Robin Roberts.
