I read Lucy's Autobiography of a Face several years ago and was impressed with her ability to cope with what was going on. This shows another aspect of that struggle, the support she got from others.
Yes, it's sometimes a bit over-sentimental, I could almost see Ann's frustration at not being able to help more or change Lucy so that she wouldn't be so self-destructive, while still wanting Lucy to be Lucy. A hard balance, well written about.
