Being Lucy: The Story of a Mountain Recluse

In the shadow of Victoria’s rugged High Country, two lonely huts keep the memory of a woman who chose silence over society.
Her name was Lucy Strobridge, a recluse who built a life of quiet strength among the wild mountains of Gippsland.
In Being Lucy: The Story of a Mountain Recluse, Dale Lorna Jacobsen transforms a little-known fragment of Australian history into a haunting tale of freedom, endurance, and the human need for belonging. Inspired by true events, this beautifully written historical novel explores what it means to live on one’s own terms and the price of peace found in solitude.
