How do you change your luck? Katherine Center’s marvelously
entertaining and poignant new novel is about choosing to
look for happiness—and maybe getting lucky enough to find it.
Sarah Harper isn’t sure if the stupid decisions she
sometimes makes are good choices in disguise—or if they’re
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 Houston—and her sister,
Mackie—for 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, Mackie’s given up on
having a baby—and plans to sell on eBay the entire nursery
she’s set up. Which gives Sarah a brilliant idea—an idea
that could fix everyone’s problems. An idea that gives Sarah
the chance to take care of her big sister for once—instead
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 she’s lost touch with, the memories of
her mother, the sweet guy she dumped horribly in high
school. Soon everything that matters is on the line—and
Sarah can only hope that by changing her life she has
changed her luck, too.
