Lucy’s debut book, The Lucy Family Alphabet, was released in May 2008. Lucy authored the book about growing up with her Irish-born adoptive parents and not discovering she was adopted until she was 25 years old.

Her second book, Drink, Smoke, Pass Out (a sequel to her earlier biography), was released in October 2012. One critic termed it “worth it… because, like a true champion, Judith finds a way through her self-absorbed mire.” Not in a religious sense, but in an honest sense.”
