Lucy Left Town is the emotional story of a woman, who after many years of marriage, decided to take care of herself first; the story of a woman who began to look for something more in her life.
In Lucy's teenage years, heartsore with grief due to an unexpected death, she made a hurried and distraught decision; a decision that seemed to be the only option at the time.
That decision led to many years of marriage, and as the years began to add up, she found herself struggling with the feeling that life was passing by at an alarming rate. She began to wonder if the years spent with her husband were reason enough to justify spending her remaining time in a vacuum.
Her husband, Chip, was not a cruel or difficult man; just a man who was content with very little change in his life; satisfied with remaining in the groove he had notched out for himself.
Finally, Lucy concluded that the only course of action that she could take would be to leave her home - she did not make this decision lightly, but thought about it from many angles, and in order to have that something more, she would have to take that big step.
Settled into a new life, Lucy was content. Meanwhile, Chip could not reconcile himself to the fact that she had left and was determined that she should return and they could restart their lives together.
In the end, Fate decided the outcome of any reconciliation between the two of them, and another unexpected death sent Lucy back to her home for one last visit.
