I'm proud to announce that Tor Teen has issued a tenth anniversary
edition of Hurt Go Happy, my novel based on the true story of Lucy
Temerlin, a chimpanzee raised as if she were human. HGH is the story of a
deaf child's unique friendship with a sign-language using chimpanzee.For years, I believed the original story that Lucy, the real Sukari, was killed by poachers. I Googled her and found this article. As it turns out, the truth will never be known, but the story is no less sad.
This is 20 minutes and includes a story about another chimp. It also doesn't go into what happens after Lucy's sexual awakening.
