How do you change your luck? Katherine Centerβs marvelously entertaining and poignant new novel is about choosing to look for happinessβand maybe getting lucky enough to find it.
Sarah Harper isnβt sure if the stupid decisions she sometimes makes are good choices in disguiseβor if theyβre really just stupid. But either way, after forwarding an inappropriate email to her entire company, she suddenly finds herself out of a job.
So she goes home to Houstonβand her sister, Mackieβfor Thanksgiving. But before Sarah can share her troubles with her sister, she learns that Mackie has some woes of her own: After years of trying, Mackieβs given up on having a babyβand plans to sell on eBay the entire nursery sheβs set up. Which gives Sarah a brilliant ideaβan idea that could fix everyoneβs problems. An idea that gives Sarah the chance to take care of her big sister for onceβinstead of the other way around.
But nothing worthwhile is ever easy. After a decade away, Sarah is forced to confront one ghost from her past after another: the father sheβs lost touch with, the memories of her mother, the sweet guy she dumped horribly in high school. Soon everything that matters is on the lineβand Sarah can only hope that by changing her life she has changed her luck, too.
