Multicultural Contemporary Fiction
Lenora Stone used to say if she didn't have bad luck, she
wouldn't have any luck at all. At age thirty-eight, instead
of socializing with Baltimore's A-list, she photographs them
for Baltimore Scene, a glossy magazine filled with beautiful
people who, unlike Lenora, never have to worry about car
trouble and overdue bills. As much as she'd love to slam the
door on her overbearing boss, quitting isn't an option.
She's barely making her mortgage payments and, though her
condo might not be a palace, it's hers. Lately even things
with her boyfriend Gerald haven't been right. They've been
together for three years but he can't seem to ask the one
question she's been waiting for. But what Lenora doesn't
know is that her luck is about to change... Just when she thinks things can't get worse, Lenora wins the
jackpot in the Maryland lottery. In a heartbeat, all her
dreams become possible. She quits her job and indulges her
every desire-starting with a shiny, silver BMW and a
million-dollar mansion. Gerald is finally ready to put a
ring on her finger and the city's most exclusive women's
group is dying for her to join, officially moving Lenora
from behind the lens, into the limelight. But in Lenora's
lavish new world, all that glitters definitely isn't gold.
Her old friend's are concerned about her sudden changes, and
Ray, a sexy, young landscaper Lenora covered for the
magazine is looking for more than a purely professional
relationship. As her life starts to come together, the things Lenora holds
dear begin to fall apart. Has her world really changed for
the better, or does fortune come with a heavy price?
