After reading this story, I have a better understanding of my own womanhood and why God has sent me to this world. It is to spend my short time on this earth doing good to others and become a blessing to all around me, but I see it as a great challenge. If Lucy, a handicapped young woman, could achieve it, why couldn’t I? I have heard also Lucy like persons have achieved great things in the world. This question is haunting me now, and I am overcome by Lucy of the story to do something for the poor people of the world selflessly. I am touched by the character Lucy and her technique of allowing herself be defeated by her opponents, and thus change the mentality of opponents and get their support for grater things to reach her end goal. Congratulations to Tom Kottackal, the author of this well-thought-out story.
A girl with fire within works to achieve her end goal to be a person for others through self-sacrifices, facing odds with love, sacrificing small defeats for greater victory. She motivates all to act for common-good and sacrifices her own life.
