Julie Roseman and Romeo Cacciamani know a thing or two
about good fortune. For generations, their families were
rival florists and bitter enemies. Then Julie and Romeo met
by chance, just as each became single again. Even more
miraculous, they fell in love. Three years later, Julie and Romeo are still blissfully
happy. They don't often get a quiet moment alone, and
rarely manage a night -- quiet or otherwise -- in the same
bed, but Julie feels blessed by what they do have: true
love, wonderful jobs, and houses packed to the rafters with
family. Romeo's ninety-three-year-old mother, his son Alan,
Alan's wife and their three children live with him; Julie's
daughter Sandy and her family -- including Sandy's Willy
Wonka-obsessed daughter, Sarah, and their cat -- live with
her. The odds of Julie and Romeo getting a few days of
peace together seem about as likely as winning the lottery. But their wish comes true -- with a twist -- when an injury
puts Romeo flat on his back in Julie's room. Spending days
in bed may sound heavenly, but with Romeo on pain pills,
initially as comatose as Juliet in her tomb, the reality is
less romantic. Then Julie's other daughter, Nora, drops her
own crisis on her mother's doorstep. Now Julie has to
figure out how to run two flower shops, take care of an
ever-expanding household, nurse her beloved Romeo back to
health, tackle Sarah's fixation with lottery tickets, and
keep her daughters from regressing into full-scale teenage
bickering. And Lady Luck has one more surprise in store.... Wonderfully witty and unerringly wise, Julie and Romeo Get
Lucky is a smart, heartwarming story of timeless love and
family loyalty, and a reminder that if you suddenly get
everything you ever wished for, the only thing to do is
live happily ever after.
