How do you change your luck? Katherine Centerโs marvelously entertaining and poignant new novel is about choosing to look for happinessโand maybe getting lucky enough to find it.
Sarah Harper isnโt sure if the stupid decisions she sometimes makes are good choices in disguiseโor if theyโre 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 Houstonโand her sister, Mackieโfor 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, Mackieโs given up on having a babyโand plans to sell on eBay the entire nursery sheโs set up. Which gives Sarah a brilliant ideaโan idea that could fix everyoneโs problems. An idea that gives Sarah the chance to take care of her big sister for onceโinstead 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 sheโs lost touch with, the memories of her mother, the sweet guy she dumped horribly in high school. Soon everything that matters is on the lineโand Sarah can only hope that by changing her life she has changed her luck, too.
