Lucy by Laurence Gonzales

Primatologist Jenny Lowe is studying bonobo chimpanzees deep in the Congo when she is caught in a deadly civil war that leaves a fellow researcher dead and his daughter, Lucy, orphaned. Realizing that the child has no living relatives, Jenny begins to care for Lucy as her own. But as she reads the late scientist's notebooks, she discovers that Lucy is the result of a shocking experiment, and that the adorable, magical, wonderful girl she has come to love is an entirely new hybrid species--half human, half bonobo.

Laurence Gonzales is the best-selling author of Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why, as well as the novel Lucy. With the release of The Still Point: Essays at the University of Arkansas Press in 1989, he began his publishing career.
