My Body Keeps Your Secrets, Lucia’s second book, was published in September 2021, examines the secrets a body keeps, from gender identity, puberty and menstruation to sexual pleasure; to pregnancy or its absence; and to darker secrets of abuse, invasion or violation.  My Body Keeps Your Secrets was awarded the Somerset Maugham Prize for Literature in 2022.
